I chose a cheap $30 multimeter for a car wiring job and it gave me a false reading that cost me a weekend.

Wyatt932 gets it, cheap tools cost you more time.

Learned that lesson the hard way too. I keep a basic Fluke for car work now, it just reads right every time. Saved me a ton of headaches.

Wait, you used to use something else on a car? That's just asking for trouble... I had a buddy try to use one of those cheap freebie meters on his alternator, gave him a reading that was totally wrong. He replaced a perfectly good battery because of it. A solid meter isn't even a luxury, it's a must-have. You really can't trust those random no-name tools for anything important.
