Looking for help selecting a budget multi-meter. I'm quite overwhelmed.

The Southwire brand sold at Lowes are popular with the local makers groups were I live. I've used a couple and they seemed well made and accurate. Here's the webpage for them http://www.southwiretools.com/tools/categories/test-and-measurement#multimeters

They are most likely a rebranded OEM product. If anyone knows these meters maybe they can tells us who the OEM is.

Southwire looks like CEM's products... not very well regarded due to quality issues...

Congrats. I have plenty of multimeters without backlights, it's not a big deal if you have decent lighting. The meter could however do with a nice set of Probemasters probes. I own 3 Uni-T multimeters, I replaced mine with Fluke but Probemasters are the way to go, you will notice the difference.
