One thing to keep in mind - not sure if they still do it but I bet they
do - RS periodically has rather good sale prices on this sort of thing -
ie, $60 meter for $40.  You might want to wait for a sale to actually
buy one.

I know that leaves you unable to test your current load, but a small
light bulb in series with the ground connection of your battery might be
enough to find the offending circuit.

Just trying to make matters more confusing...
