Santa blessed me with not one, but two new digital multimeters. One is Mastech MS8268 and the other is an AstroAI DT132A. Both came with cheap, not-so-very-good leads, but they were easy to replace. I have used both of them and both take a bit longer to settle than I would like, but tolerable. Both have made a big difference in how much I trust the meter and in how often I use one. The AstroAI is smaller and that is a plus, but I find myself picking up the Mastech more often for the simple reason that it is easy to stow the meter leads in the clips on the back of the DMM and so they are always easy to find and untangled. I will be the first to admit that I have not begun to use all the features of either meter and I have had them only a month or so, but these have been my initial impressions. Hope this is helpful to another noobe.
