I have a good fluke, a cheapo HF & a cheap one I bought at Walmart.
They are all good for what I'm doing (volts, voltage drop, measuring
resistance & checking for  continuity).
However... the cheap HF did NOT have an audio continuity check,
that's why I replaced it with the $20 walmart meter.... do I have a
ground? BEEP...yes I do, does this wire actually run from this plug
to where I think it should? BEEP...yes it does, is the light bulb
filament broken? BEEP... no it's not.
