Your options are:

1. Good meter with fair to decent cap readout, but no hfe.
2. Crap meter with crap cap range and a transistor socket.
3. Excellent meter with no cap and no hfe.


Years ago Radioshack sold a little box that had Red/Black/Yellow alligators coming out of it and a 3-pin female header plus a whole lotta LEDs.
That is why I have my Bechman 330 for general stuff, and a simpson 260 for
transistors and both as a cap checker, mostly I replace it, but you know short
testing on a ohm meter....

I remember that magic little trinket RS use to have.....

They may go bankrupt soon, I'll miss them for what they were.....
