Steve, don't rush out and buy and meters. I seen from the training providers forum you are very new to the course. Best spending money on building a test rig. Practice on paper 2 way, 2 way with intermediate, 3 plate and industrial ways of making circuits. Then practice them for real on a board until you fully understand what is going on ,cause when you do it for real most of its hidden. Spend your money on decent screwdrivers and other hand tools. Oh and pay attention to what Clint says he is a very good instructor.
