Why buy a multimeter from the likes of Snap-On or Mac Tools? They don't actually MAKE the things, but just rebadge some other maker's unit, and tack on the premium price that goes with their name and the mobile tool truck. Presumably, they sell to auto technicians who respect (or at least are locked into) the brand, and don't mind paying the premium out of brand loyalty.
The "industry standard" multimeters for the electrical/electronics industry are made by Fluke. Agilent, Extech, and BK Precision all make good units. You need to define exactly what you need, then start looking for a suitable unit to fit your budget. Will you be working on building wiring, or just TV/Radio/Automotive stuff? If you are working on high energy stuff, you want a Cat III or Cat IV rated unit, for limited energy stuff like TV repair, a lower rated unit will suffice at a lower price.
There are LOTS of multimeter reviews (and selection tips) over on Dave Jones' "EEVblog":
