I was about to ask my home board /k/ what multimeter I should buy, but figured I'd end up being recommended a Mosin Nagant instead.

Then I was gonna ask /g/, but realized they'd be no help.

So, what multimeter should I buy? I intend on using it for small electrical repairs (diagnosing problems, etc.)

I got a Wavetek DM27XT and two Mastech MAS830L. They are all ok, good enough for most 'at home' projects.

You can get them for like $500 bucks for a CRATE and they are IMMORTAL.

Just a question.. How would you go about buying a crate of these things? Is there a website or something?

You kind of have to luck out, going to a gun show is your best bet, also, some gun stores buy guns from the supplier by the crate, so you could go down to your local gun store and ask if they could cut you a deal on a crate.

fluke 117 is a good basic choice.
