I have had a Fluke 87 since 1985. Since '85 I have had a 1970s era Temma and a 1980s era Keithly multi-meters go bad. All had rough lives in the mining business and spent most of their lives being carried around in pickups. I can't personally understand economically how Harbor Freight can profitably sell a $2.89 multi-meter imported from China, especially since it reads close to the Fluke 87. Pretty clear proof of currency manipulation. Right now there is coupon to get one free with any purchase. Here's a multi-meter with more types of measurement than most: http://www.grove-ent.com/MS8209.html a review www.multimeterwarehouse.com/MS8209Review.pdf

Fluke, Simpson and Tripplet. I have about 15 diferent VOM's around the house. Most are cheap units and work for 85 % of what we need for automotive work. But like said above, if its a Meg Ohm short its near imposable to find with a cheap unit.
