I agree. For my bench I use a Fluke 8020, backed up by a Simpson 260 VOM, and
an old Weston Industrial Analyzer.
But these Cheapo Chinese Crap meters are okay in a pinch and to leave in your
car's side pocket.

I have an old Fluke digital multimeter that I use for serious work (If
it works, it's a Fluke), but the HF cheapies are great continuity
checkers and fair volt - ohmmeters, too. Particularly for the price.
