I have a Radio shack DMM, I'm not sure what the model number is.  I'd
recommend the first model.  Either would probably work for diagnosing
car type work, but if you plan on building any circuits like the 332
project, or even the EGO or ION projects on this list you'll appreciate
the frequency measurement and capacitor measurement.  Temp probe, well,
that probably has a use also.
