When I lived in Luxembourg I found a solid plastic cased thing that has two 
banana plugs which mate with a DMM and a BNC jack. With a BNC male connector

suitable for a probe's RG-174 cable it is easy to change probes without 
moving banana plugs, and soldering to banana plugs is not an issue. Having 
the BNC connector and banana plugs in series has not caused any problems, 
even at millivolt levels. I don't know who made it unfortunately.

The quality of some of those adapters varies a lot, both in their mechanical
and electrical design. One that many Hams have reported works very well is
made by Pomona Electronics in the USA. They are also available in other
countries. Warwick Test Supplies in Warwickshire there is one I've seen
listed. Here in the USA, digikey and many others carry their line. 

I don't have that adapter, but I have a lot of Pomoma adapters and
connectors and find them first-rate.
