It's because the tranny tester is something added to cheap chinese meters to add a function to the list count.
a 12 function meter sounds better than a 10 function meter. A sign of a lower quality meter usually is a transistor checker. it's stupid and useless... and anybody testing a transistor, would know how to properly do so and would be using a better meter anyway.
for instance, the meter in OP's picture is a meter obtainable for £25.95.

this meter...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fluke-87V-True-Digital-Multimeter/dp/B01KNCE0FK/ref=sr_1_6?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1493164959&sr=1-6&keywords=fluke+87v
is of much higher quality (and cost (£673.00 ) but is factory calibrated to within a count and has no uncertainty as to it's accuracy.... notice which function it lacks?
besides the obvious 30x price difference and far superior accuracy to the aforementioned unit... it does not have a transistor checker.
Besides, I feel much better poking the FLuke 87's probes into an outlet because it's CSA and UL certified. I can't say so much for the Proster. i'd almost doubt the Category 2 1000v rating it has.
I've been using a $35 multimeter from amazon for three years now. What benefits do these much more expensive ones have?

I like mine quite a lot, and would not call it a pile of crap. It hasn't endangered me. Judging by the reviews on amazon.co.uk there are numerous other people who agree with my opinion.
