Good choice for a first meter?

[DynatechFan]

So I have my first kit and its doing what I hoped it would. But I am unsure the battery is giving me the volts I should expect, plus it may be needed for diagnosis if anything starts playing up - plus I have a challenge to find out why my daughters Vaio suddenly has no power

So what would be a good first electronic meter to buy - obviously don't want to spend a fortune

You don't need anything fancy. I still use the Hilka one I bought many years ago.

A bit cheaper here:

Ideally, you need one that has a beeping continuity test:

Any budget one will be good from 4 or 5 quid to the one posted above, even at a bit over a tenner it's not expensive.
Ideally one with the buzz feature for continuity testing is a must not all have this in the cheaper ones.
