I do keep a Simpson 260 on my bench and I use it often.

The ohms x 1 range will reliably forward bias semiconductor junctions while in circuit.
For in-circuit testing I find it useful to have an ohms range that is
of low enough voltage that it can't forward bias a junction. I have a
separate range that does provide forward bias, and reads out a voltage
rather than a resistance.
