(Sorry Dave, but we DO HAVE an eevblog multimeter in the house.)
I bought a slightly cheapo and rugged rubber encased multimeter, right here down the street, at:
O'R••••••s Auto Parts (in California).
PLUS, pay attention to some of their misc. LED and audio products. I picked up a 'cigarette lighter' receptacle add-on (under dashboard), where the thing has a USB Charging port. ow, with the (Auto Parts Store) Solar Trickle chargr I've got solar capacity to at least keep phone going, if disaster blackouts occur.
And the LED accessories are cool too.
I don't even drive, LOL.
