I am not saying that it is the only thing that will work, but I would rather buy one tool that does many things then a bunch of speciality tools that do the exact same thing. I find myself using it more for continuity between things more than testing components. But then again a computer if not the only thing that I fix.

You just hit the nail on the head perfectly....also good for checking to see if you getting voltage from an outlet...or testing power strips... also for a brand of multimeter I recommend a Fluke....alot of money but they do have lifetime warranties and and built to last.
