I have found the the biggest flaw in the cheap DMMs (like the HF one) is the dial/knob, they break easily.
Treat them like they are made of glass and they will work fine.
You can drop a 'REAL FLUKE' > 10 feet onto concrete or abuse the dial and not break it.
You get what you pay for, but I agree a $10 DMM is better than none.
Ya I chuckled when I saw the "Elike" as well. For checking batteries 98% of the guys here only need something cheap. I actually do have a Fluke but gets used for many other things as well.
