I use a pair of Mastercraft brand DMMs from Canadian Tire, from what I read most of those DMMs use the same main chip regardless of the name, it's the peripheral stuff like switches, sockets, test leads, and the case itself that differ, and they can cheapen out on. It's true that they are not as rugged, but I think that the previous two DMMs I bought from Canadian Tire were on sale for under $30, with tax, so if one blows up or breaks it's not a huge loss. Before that I was using a VTVM from EICO, till I blew up one of the resistors.
