Well I'm needing to buy yet another OHM meter

I really only use them for continuity, OHMs, and Amperage

I bought a better one (not harbor freight) but have had bad luck with it also

Does anyone have a brand recommendation or personal experience of a decent OHM meter that will last more than 8 months?

just something that will survive living in a tool box and at the track and last a while
I don't need precision accuracy
durability to last in a tough environment would be nice

obviously I don't need a fluke
price is a factor too
so Ideally I would love someone's positive experience with a 20-40$ unit

thanks in advance

I'd get a used Fluke 87. They pretty much last forever and if you get lucky you can find perfectly functional older versions for ~$50. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have a fluke 88 for work I snagged off ebay for $70 and a fluke 115 for home I got at a flea market for $25. For the functions you need the 115 would be great.
