Devils advocate here - do you need need a bench multimeter?

I used to think I needed one and owned all sorts of meters over the years. Ultimately I found that the meter I used the most was a Fluke 87V and I never needed any datalogging capability for the work I do. Now the only meters I own are two 87Vs and a Fluke 233 because they were by far the quickest and easiest to use - sold all the rest. In my work, a handheld meter is a huge plus because you can bring the meter to the work, rather than bringing the work to the meter or needing super long leads.

If you your work need handheld meter the bench meter just won't do. Each has its own use.
