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

do your self a favor and get one that has a back light.

I've used flukes for over 30 years and can vouch for the reliability.

Having the backlight is great in engine bays, breaker boxes, etc.
