Michael :

I feel compelled to disagree on this point.  Most cheap analog meters
will go up in smoke the first time you try to measure the resistance of
your charged car battery, and quit working the first time they fly off
the fender in a truck's backwash.  With digital meters available for
under $10 (on sale at HF), I can't see any reason to carry an analog. 
Digital meters are also smaller, lighter, and have useful features like
audible continuity (which can be real handy if you're laying on the back
of your neck under the dash, trying to find a problem).
