sqkybeaver on choosing a multimeter:
…if you use eBay, for an entry i would recommend something like this with dmm (a second or third dmm is all ways good to have) this is as fairly accurate as a hobbyist would need.
for a more advanced user I’d go with new BK precision 879B handheld dual display LCR meter or EXTECH 380193: Passive component LCR meter
those are all general purpose solutions, if you will be doing a large. amount that are >10uH/mOHM a more expensive bench unit might be in order.
Via the forum.
the bk precision and extech meters are LCR only, the multimeter pictured can be found as low as $40US.
$40US is a good price for me ;)
I use the 2$ china made yellow multimeters.
