Do you guys have GAS or you buy only the gear you really need for your job?

In my experience i never regret the purchase of a good quality tool, but i can't say the same for some cheap tool that i had to buy again.
The struggling with crappy gears is too annoying for my taste.

How many of you have a DMMCheck Plus or equivalent?
I have some cheap reference LCR and Voltage from china a couple of vishay 0,005% resistors and the lm399ah 10v reference from circuitvalley

I'd buy for my professional repair lab, that is about 10/20% of my company income but it would be really an overkill for my needs, i'd just like to play around with it. :o |O

You've come to the right place for group therapy  ;D

You don't need an expensive bench meter for a repair lab. An old 2nd hand 34401 will only cost a few hundred.
This seller in China has 30 of them for $260 each.

Do you never get any tool just because it's cool?

Anyone here who says no is lying  ;D

Thanks Dave for your input, i'll check it out.

Buying a €860 meter from Germany would cost me (my company) actually around €520.

I'm not really sure about reverse charge from China, but here in Italy buying used gear make sense only from a professional seller that give you a valid Invoice.
