This is a good thread to show the problems a DIY person can run into.
Using the the apropriate tool for the job is very important as 911pcars sugests.
A good DVOM will work for testing circuits that require it's use, computer type circuits etc. But in lighting or non sensative circuits a properly used test light could be the better tool. A circuit may read 12volts on the Fluke 88 and seem good, but when tested with a test light which loads the circuit it will fail to light.
I guess it comes down to experience and familairity with the circuits envolved.
