My wife built a 1/5 MOTM-800 EG and she had never touched a soldering iron. Yes, the EG does work. :) You can do it. :) Personally, I use Fluke meters. Not because there is anything wrong with the others, but my experience has been they are bullet proof. I have a typical 3.5 digit great for most applications (model 77 no longer made I have had it so long). I also picked up a used 6 digit meter for my bench which I have enjoyed immensely for matching resistors and precise work. However, new they are in the $1300-1500 range. I found mine used in excellent condition for $275.
