The thing about multimeters is that, by design, you're sticking them into unknown electrical conditions. If it turns out what you thought was a +12V rail was actually +12kV, your meter is not going to survive regardless of how much you paid for it. Whether you paid $5 or $50 will determine whether your hand survives.

@starkatt I don't know why you would ever want a handheld meter that isn't at least cat III 1000V/cat IV 600V
