Most meters, especially the really cheap ones will survive dropping from a few feet, not because of the quality of their construction but mainly because they have bugger all mass to start with. I have a pair of Fluke Cat III 1000v test probes that weigh more than the dirt cheap no brand Chinese digital multimeters I carry round in the toolbox of all my cars, and while I have a five and a half digit bench meter and numerous other portable meters that cost many hundreds of pounds each there is no real need for any of them in automotive work. Precision as such matters not a jot, if it's accurate to 5% then that'll do. It doesn't need anything better. Plus if you are in the habit of running over your test equipment then maybe they deserve a more caring owner,
For instance, something like this.
That leaves about 300 quid to spend on beer, or a holiday in the sun or snow compared to buying something like a Fluke 77.
