Looking for a digital multimeter

Hi all,

Just wondering whether anyone can recommend me an accurate digital multimeter for measuring DC Volts particularly (not worried about AC tbh)

Looking to spend less than £30 if possible.

Thank you,

Banjo

I use 701/5603 from that high street catalogue shop.

Used at work daily for fault finding/diagnostics, even has a temperature probe.
Could proberly get a simpler cheaper one from that other electronics place with the blue logo.

Sorry for vaugness, competitorz!!

I got one there (that other electronics place) for £4.99 not so long ago .

Thanks for the help guys,

Is it worth getting a more expensive (~£30) multimeter over a £5 one, I mean, I've wired my motherboard up so that I can measure the volts on my DDR2, for example, so ideally I'd like some decent accuracy in the 0-10V range...

Thanks for the comments so far

One last hopeful bump?

Anyone have any experience with the accuracy of digital multimeters that they'd like to share?

Thanks,

Banjo
