Well I would love to have the chance to tease the Australian king from the distance of 10 centimeters away.

And give a hag to Sagan, that is more good looking than him.

But not in Germany, its too cold for him at the specific season.

But if he is willing I have all the proper tools ready ... LOL

Way cool!

But i see that the software don't specify W7 so do it work on W7 32 and 64 bit?

Vista is "close" close but i struggle with some USB specific drivers that's wanna fight W7 64 bit...

Are you afraid of opening the boxes?

Poor Brymen, another victim had fallen.

Dear Brymen representative, I assume you can read this, if you want someone to review your product, at least you should know that the reviewer is not in the ignore list at so many members around here.

Whats the point for all of these buzz if your product is not getting enough exposure here ?

This is just a big waste of your company's time, effort and your product, you better send it to someone else that has a good reputation and well known for his/her knowledge and skill, not just some freebie from the internet.

Not yet ..

Its like a new car, in the begging you have to find how the gear lever works, and where is hidden the damn astray ..
Where is the lights switch .. etc

Its a huge unit, just a bit smaller than a Fluke 28II .
The LCD light its more powerful than flashlight.
The 500,000 counts mode, its wonderful and its damn accurate.
The test leads are truly well made , silicon and soft rubber everywhere.
The test leads cables speaking about diameters and softness, are 100% comparable with the Fluke TL71 that does not come as standard tests leads.
The test leads tips are gold plated, and can be easily modified to work as:
1) totally exposed
2) covered with insulator caps (1000V measurements)
3) They get converted to banana plugs by additional screw on the tips accessories.
About the last one I was feel envy for long time about the Gossen Metrawatt test leads, but the Brymen offer all those choices, in a single set.

You have my promise to post 2-3 good images prior my full review, that needs as usual the 30 days test stress time.

This made me laugh. He has plenty of knowledge and skill. Have you not read his Agilent U1272A review? He found out about a product he was interested in and made contact with the company. I'm sure his review of the Brymen unit will be thorough and informative. If he's willing to do the legwork to get a sample for the review, then good for him!

You call that a decent review ? Ha..ha.. I feel sorry for you.

I guess you rarely hang around this forum, do you ? Just show me any quality post that he made in discussing electronic topic, just pick any subject, I guess you will not find any, rather than tons spamming/bragging and junk posts that annoyed so many members here.

It seems like you are not getting what my point is rather than just the last paragraph, suggesting you to read again.

Kiriakos-GR · « **Reply #36 on:** November 07, 2011, 07:02:32 pm »

Dear BravoV after all those efforts to attract my attention, I believe that you, and everyone who thinks like you,
worth's an crystal clear answer.

Your messages helped me to realize, and imagine the amount of envy that some people will feel even for Dave Jones,
because he managed to get some recognition, due his hard work that he did so far.
And honestly I am not afraid to have my share of this envy in the form of attacks from keyboard fighters.

I forgive your arrogance , because you are not the first one who is unable to evaluate properly the text that he reads.
From the other side of the coin, be my guest to show to us your personal arsenal of expertise's, and be rewarded if you worth it.

Currently with your behavior you are not cause damage to me, you just injure the EEV community, that I love - respect and care about it.
Be more cautious from now and on, this is all that I am asking.

ElektroQuark · « **Reply #37 on:** November 07, 2011, 07:15:24 pm »

Kiriakos: You are so blind!
Please, review your history in this and other forums, do you thing the rest of the world is really all that wrong with you?
I really really don't understand you.
But, of course, me, and others, are the wrong people.

I like some of your reviews but we do not deserve your general behavior. I'm sorry.

Dear Metalphreak:

--If I were you, I would be vewee vewee careful about about who I disagweed with on this forum. Already I see the baleful eyes of the dreaded ones, turning your way. They do not wike it when people disagwee with them.You might make them vewee vewee angwee. And then they might start trying to wooun your weputation, plus trying to put they kibosh on any deals you may have going. Just think what they might do to that waskally wabbit if the ever catch him. Be vewee vewee afwaid.

Here it is three high quality pictures, as I had promised.

DC reference source 10V .
1) LCD back light off
2) LCD back light on ( yes the Fluke is on too)
3) a bit of more zoomed.

No editing - no re size.

In thirty days the full review about it.

PetrosA · « **Reply #40 on:** November 08, 2011, 03:10:39 am »

Kiriakos, this looks like it's probably from the company that makes the Greenlee meters sold here. I would recommend testing the LCD response in cold temperatures since all the Greenlees I've owned had problems with the LCD at low (below ~14C) temperatures.

High Peter , this an easy test, We have winter here.

Even so the given specifications are that this unit is for indoor use only.
But yes, what if some company called you to do an electrical repair on large professional refrigerators for fruits maintenance ?
Yes I will investigate this factor too.

Ok guy's my review of this meter is based in viewing one picture posted by Kiriakos-GR all credits to him for the picture and i hope he does not mind me re-posting it in my forum reply.

Designers of equipment please note !!

If you going to produce equipment that pushes the boundaries with 50 million gizillion counts per nano second... more power to you girlfriend.... BUT....

But look at the image of the 3 meters side by side FLUKE and AGILENT have it bang on the money ...... Put the name and model of the meter on top of the display where all users will be focused on 99% of the time in full view, don't bury the name and model number below the jack pins where 99% of the time they will be covered by a cigarette packet or the test leads !

Proudly displaying PC-COMM in bigger lettering than the make or model number is basically a dumb ass move, in a product recognition test if you flashed this pic to a person on the street and asked "who makes it " id expect to get back a large reply "PC-COMM", not smart IMHO

Also the Screen looks nice and snazzy but , ok i know that the three meters are all connected to a 10v DC reference, FLUKE is bang on the money display "DC" near a "V" , why do meter producers have little squiggly lines to represent dc, yes i know its a standard but if your a tech working on machinery in low light with the meter laying on it side and your concentrating on holding 2 probes on live contacts ( my self 415V and above) the less time you spend trying to decipher a Wank factor display means the less time you draw your eyes and attention away from a dangerous situation, in trying not to slip and touch live components or buss bars, it makes the time frame smaller to expose your self to dangers whilst taking the reading.

If your going to give all the hard to decipher crap on the display, put it in a rectangular box stick rubber feet on it and call it a bench-top meter.

I would like it if the meter designers would send out pre-production meters to my self and i'd give them a no holes barred assesment if the product was fit for release to the public either i highly recommend the product as "suitable/desirable" or for them to send the Piece of Poo back to the design team and tell them to fix it.

Ahh i feel better now

Hi Ben, every good rant helps to feel better afterward ... I know

The pictures of it, in contrast with the other meters, serves only one purpose, the evaluation of the dimensions.

What I am trying to do with my reviews, are to discover the TRUE bang-per-buck multimeters !!

While your manners are admirable, it doesn't matter a fig whether he minds or not, after all it not his forum despite any delusions he may be experiencing at the time.

Ah, finally some good news from Greece in all this mess.

Good reviews promote product awareness to the reader/community, provide exposure to the reviewer, offer unique insight to the manufacturer and generate traffic for the host. With this in mind, you cannot have a bad review, only mediocre ones. Everyone wins.

You did a good job with the Agilent Kyriako, looking forward for the review and to more good news!

Kiriakos-GR · « **Reply #47 on:** November 22, 2011, 03:35:12 pm »

To Peter it did past the test ... I left it out in the cold for more than 40 minutes with the Agilent U1272A.
As soon both meters was frozen at 8C +/- 1 , I got the Brymen inside and:
1) connect it to my Bench PSU , and I was raising and decreasing the DC voltage 1-35V , its was fast and responsive all the way.
2) tested the accuracy when it was frozen, stable and all.

Check the pictures, they have EXIF files, the time stamp speaks by it self.

There seem to be a whole bunch of these identical layout 500,000 count meters sold under many brands.

All that I can tell so far, about this specific latest version , are that there is some Japanese & Taiwanese R&D involved.
