I'm an electronic engineer.

My multimeter I use at home cost about £15, and it does the job.

The ones I use at work cost about £1000 each.

You can spend what you like, but if you don't need much accuracy or fancy features, $50 is more than enough for a decent meter :)

I am thinking of getting a multimeter, I do some soldering and other projects, and it would be nice to be able to use one to assist in an overclock now and then, (if I ever got hardware that has checkpoints).

I don't know much about multimeters except what they are used for. What features should i look for, and what does a good-value one cost? (At what price point does there start to be good ones?)

 

I didn't know where to post this, so in general it goes.

I got mine for $100 but it has a good amount of features for readings.

 

Maybe around $50?

No idea about features and such, but you should be able to get one for about $40-70 depending on currency conversion.

Alright cool. $50-70 is my budget to spend on it, so that is good, as for what features to get? How accurate should it be? Down to how many decimals?
