Free multimeters from Harbor Freight (probably the one that they sell for $5 normally) is no comparison. Bottom of the barrel quality and reliability, with accuracy >=1%, i.e. 12.xxV it reads with +/- 0.15V error. So you get the 3rd digit barely accurate, forget what it reads in the 4th position. A 3 DIGIT METER. Not even 3 1/2. That is, if you get lucky and it works according to specs :)
For day to day messing around trailer 3 digit is "good enough" though. I use a 3-digit GreenLee, priced slightly lower than the one in Mex link. On the 4th year already, and I suspect it's poised to outlast me. I particularly like soft case that it came with. Have dropped it a few times.
