This one doesn't turn off and the battery will last for thousands of hours:

But you don't say what sort of things you want to measure. What safety do you need?

The first post said that he's concerned about being startled by the APO warning beeps from the meter when he has "hands stuck inside high voltage equipment, not the most ideal time to beep and make me jump...".  I interpreted this as a safe meter would be desired.  However, the OP does goes on to ask whether using a "cheap ebay meters and a 5v mobile power adapter" would work, but mentions concerns about the "risk of shock if the cheap china mobile chargers break down".

All this made me avoid suggesting meters that have dodgy input protection and questionable safety (hence the Fluke & Brymen suggestions).

I might have suggested the Uni-T UT161 series (a variant of the UT61+ series with improved input protection) but I'm not sure how close those meters might be to Fluke/Brymen level of safety.

He also said "...not bankrupt me or cost an amount that will never make me dare use it"   :-//

Maybe some ear plugs could solve the problem?

I think we need a lot more info about what needs measuring and what meters OP already owns.
