My meter was inexpensive at Radio Shack. Money was not a factor, I just don't need a commercial unit. I check continuity and occasionally other things almost exclusively for pinball. It works great. I splurged on a soldering iron and that as worth it!
I have this cheap one from Radio Shack

Since I literally don't know any better, I would appreciate any insight as to why it's not good enough. I use it for continuity etc when working on my game. It works fine for tracking down shorts, checking fuses and the like. I've tried using it on boards before and get results that never seem to match the advice given. Mostly I assume it's my lack of knowledge.
I think what I really need is proper training. A video would be best for me.
