I like that lady in the video.
Yeah was thinking the same, fuck the multimeter that's one hot chick
Only difference between science and random vandalism is documentation.
I'd be carefull with such statements
Congrats Dave, this is a new low.
I am sorry to see what has become of eevblog.
Does anyone else thinks we are slowly heading towards idiocracy? In a few years eevblog will be nothing just a rant about a farting butt.
It is even worse that keysight requested/sponsored/appreoved/whatever this.
In my eyes keysights reputation has dropt a lot.
There is a difference between testing/destroying the device in any meaningful way, and destroying it like in the the video.
I would guess no one who can afford keysight instruments appreciates something like this.
Well, if you have decided to go down on this path, make sure to check next time if it blends, that should get you a few extra views

Seeing all the hate here i must state my opinion on the matter as well. I don't agree with that hate here and agree that stuff needs to be tested/destroyed in order to see how well they last.
Only thing i got a bit annoyed was the lack of "documentation" of the experiment. It was nice to see Dave tear down and show us how the meter managed to resist water but why didn't he do it again when seeing the meter display shatter when dropping (losing the only obvious indication of life) I wanted to see how well everything else survived at the point where display finally failed.

BTW which one is better? Fluke 28-II or this Keysight U1282A? I think that both meet its specs, that's good.
Dave, just a thought...
When you threw it off the dam, why not let it free fall *without* the tether rope attached, and have your assistant at the bottom just hook it back on to the rope to let you tow it back to the top?
That way the multimeter could turn freely in falling and hit the ground at any angle, instead of only hitting bottom down as when the rope was attached. You could then throw down the rope to your assistant who would hook it on only for the lift back up to the top. When it gets back up, you could un-tether the rope and throw it down again.

Personal trainer, she will take you to the gym and in 2 days you will absolutely hate her guts. If you survive 2 months you will grudgingly like her and after 6 months you will thank her for the lifestyle change. You will also be a lot fitter as well, and capable of running a 40km marathon in some semblance of reasonable time as well.
Err, the display finally failed on the 30m drop.
You mean that same new low I reached 6 years ago when I did almost exactly the same video?
The same video that is quite famous and made a good part of my reputation?
The same video that the #1 requested thing people want to see when they visit the lab is the beat up Fluke 28?
The same video people often credit as one of their favourite episodes?
That new low point?
You're new here, right?
Yup, you're new here. Welcome.
Would you like me to create a safe space for you?
