I have a 'Heath by Fluke' model SM-77 which
works very well for me. It's not a true RMS
meter, which might be a problem for some though.
The newer models also measure capacitance and
frequency, but if all you want is a DMM this
one is fine. Fluke still makes this model,
under their own model number. (It's the
familiar narrow, tall meter with the 8 position
knob to the left side and 4 digit display).

I did manage to blow the low current fuse in the
meter (guess what, it comes with a spare fuse,
inside!). The 9 volt battery lasts forever
(think I've changed it twice in 20 years,
and one time was because I left the meter on
for a week straight!).
