I think this is the one I have:
http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Fasteners-Production-Equipment/Test-
Equipment/Multimeters/955-Autoranging-LCD-multimeter/31052/kw/multimeter

One feature it has that I would recommend is a shortcircuit beep /
continuity test.  Very very useful for tracing cables.  It is also
sensitive enough in the resistance range to easily tell the differnce
between small resistors which was certainly handy when testing with
Idratek.
