My mentor's 30-year-old Fluke meter died mid-diagnosis in Portland

Last Tuesday I was in a customer's basement in Portland tracing a dead dryer circuit when my old Fluke 87 finally quit after 30 years of service, and I had to finish the job with a $25 backup meter from the truck. The cheap meter read fine on voltage but couldn't hold a stable reading on continuity, so I spent 20 extra minutes second-guessing a wire that turned out to be good. What's your go-to backup meter when your main one craps out mid-job?
