I'd go along with this.  I keep a Radio Shack "pocket DMM" (they're on sale
this month for $25, I think) in my tool case.  If it gets stepped on, blown 
up by overvoltage, etc., who cares?  But in the meantime it reads just as 
accurately as the old Simpson 461 DMM, which stays (relatively) safe on the 
bench (along with the Heath VTVM, for old times' sake).
