Well I'm leaning towards a Fluke 117. Appears to be a basic good meter and under $150 so not crazy expensive.

To answer the question about my wants/needs: I want a quality tool that will be the last one I ever buy. My needs are basic... Voltage ac/DC, resistance and continuity.

Most of the more costly meters have functions I'll never use/don't need.
my friend's meter. i think it is the 117.
he once used it to test a car battery. hooked it up, started the car, and the meter recorded the max/min thing and it was essentially a load tester.

i am not great with electrical things..a Fluke would be overkill x10 with me..but that max/min button was effen cool. not even sure if i explained it right.
