Fluke makes good one.

This one should be more than good enough for what you need.

Hi,
not that my comment - opinion will change anything,
however I must agree with your suggestion (Fluke 117)
even if I would not pay that much for a multitester.
I think it's a good choice at reasonnable price.
I use to own one, a more basic version and it was very good.
You can't go wrong with Fluke.
(Three years warranty, that good.)

Guy that particular model is expensive because it is a true RMS voltmeter. A standard voltmeter measures the peak voltage of an AC signal and the assumes it is a pure sine wave and applys the correct peak to average conversion factor for a sine wave to display the correct RMS voltage. A true RMS voltmeter does not make that assumption and actually calculates the average voltage of the wave presented to it, which is of course much more complicated than measuring the peak and assuming it is a sine wave.  ut it is the only way to measure the true effective voltage od a non sinusoidal signal.

Fluke makes much less expensive meters if you cal live without the true RMS function (which probably cover 90%+ of the all users) starting at right around $0 on Amazon.

or if you need a meter that will also do current measurements:

https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-107-Current-Handheld-Multimeter/dp/B00HEAMMIC/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=fluke+meter&qid=1577642592&sr=8-9

Adding the current measurement capability doubles the price, but it is still less than half of what they get for the true RMS  model.
