The battery in my old Radio Shack multimeter corroded and even though I cleaned it up, it is dead. (of course, I need to check continuity on the bus fuses on my furnace that died on the coldest night so far this year, so great timing).

If money were no object, I would buy a Fluke, but I rarely use it, so looking for something under $30. Does anyone have recommendations or recommendations of what to avoid, or are they all pretty much the same at that price point?
