Anyone recommend a reasonable cheap multimeter?
Just for 12v car / basic 240v house stuff and continuity testing.
Ideally under 20 quid.
Or are they all pretty much the same these days so just pick a £10 one off Amazon with the most positive reviews?
Thanks
I paid £10 or so on eBay. It does the job.
I still can't find my other one
I'm sure the Amazon ones will be fine but also check out Screwfix and Toolstation.
"positive reviews" 😂
This was asked a few months back, there's some useful info here:

Cheap ones are generally fine. Get one with a nice thick rubber case so it doesn't get smashed in your toolbox.
A temperature probe is surprisingly useful too.
I've got a big expensive yellow one at home which would probably make me look profesional, but the one that's actually in my toolkit came from Maplins.
Just to echo what I said in the thread cougar has linked to, the Aneng AN8000 is a great budget meter. There's a few others with similar numbers if you want certain features. Had mine a while now and it performs well.
