I have to agree with this. I prefer the analog meters and have
several of them.
As for the digital ones, I have a bunch of the inexpensive H.F. units

I agree about having the ability to clip a lead to a connection, but
I have a bunch
of the aligator clips from Radio Shack and use them to clip the meter
to a test
