A multimeter is indispensable. Sure there are times you can see if there is voltage by using a test light but if you have a bad alternator a test light wont' tell you the difference between 12 volts and 14 volts.
VOM meters are so cheap and easy to use everyone that works on cars should have one.
When I first used multimeters they were analog. The needle had different ranges and you had to know what number to read.
Have one of these in the garage still. along with a Snap-on dvm probe stick thing and a Harbor freight digital with the currant clamp for use around the house, at work I have an old tried and true Fluke. Gotta have at least one.
