In-store only, stock confirmed at the Gabba, you creep. Cat III, decent build quality, nice range of features as per below, both auto-ranging or manual with data hold, even has a flick-out stand. Also: 'The unit also has provision to be powered by 2 x CR2032 batteries for those days when kinetic energy is not available.' Has been $100 in the past, currently being cleared down from $40. S'pose the real question is, how often do DMM batteries need changing?

DMM batteries don't need changing a lot…except when you forget to turn them off after using them…damn, done it again. Apart from the dynamo action it is not worth more than about $20.
Looking at other DMM in their range I think you would be better spending some more and getting something a bit more useful, like $40 for one with temperature measurement.
But could be handy as a backup, maybe. But carrying a spare cheap battery is easy too.
