Yeah, indication sucks. We had "oops moment" with teacher when dial was supposed to be in 750V, we were measuring MAINS. Dial was in capacitance range. Obviously, this would have led to potential safety hazard. Well, one one my school buddies measured mains voltage with DC voltage. Thankfully it was noted before anything happened.
These scenarios happened many years ago, and I got another one of these meters. Another has in fact small stripe of yellow tape, to indicate dial position. Also, even it says 200mA range is fused....well, it has fuse, only It is not proper one; those resettable ones.
I had brymen 14s while ago, but It's connectors broke. I bought it from flea market for 20€, so wasn't big loss that it broke. Apart from fact it was much more rigid, safe, and overall better.
For next meter, I've thinked long time for brymen, since those appear to be good value. Probably 869s,
