these look really handy for those w/o access to precision references. voltagestandard.com
the dmm check is only $32.50 with free re-calibration for a year and only $5 including return shipping after that. similarly low calibration deal for the other 2 models!
anyone here use one of these?

I use DMMCheck
Plus, for a couple of years now I am very pleased with it. The plus version has a little extra over the non-plus. You can check the website for the difference.
Service was great. I ordered my DmmCheckPlus with the wrong frequency AC, the Plus can give two different AC frequencies and I mis-entered one of them. I contacted them, shipped it back and they re-calibrated it to what I need without charge (I paid shipping for him to return it to me after re-calibration. It was my fault so it was fair that I paid the (re) shipping).
If I recall correctly, the DmmCheck/Plus are tested using an 8 digit HP dmm for accuracy. I have high confidence with it.
ps: adding this:
While the DMMCheckPlus has a single 5V reference, but it also has a built in set of reference resistors known to 4 or 5 digits. They are soldered in series - in other words, a voltage divider. I use that to divide down the 5 volt and do sanity check on the lower ranges down to mV.
