So my cheap one works well for that. I don't know how to do anything fancy, or need to do anything fancy.
Bingo..for most automotive or household (110V here), a cheapy works. What caused me to eyeball the Klein lineup? We had a guy here for our air conditioning unit. Noticed he used a Klein unit. I asked, and he said they were a good unit, that his gave all the readings that he needs. Evidently, many electrical techs use Klein tools.

(edit) The Triplett meter Red Beard posted looks similar to the Klein I linked to.
And for a complete test leads set:
