For the price you can source a good old Fluke slide switch model like a 8022 --- End quote --- Oh, we're allowed to compare with second hand stuff?? By that metric your Brymen must be terrible value for money. You already said that you hav "more approprate tools" for different jobs, the Fluke 101 may not be very good as a main multimeter but it's a very appropriate tool for certain jobs, and serves well as a second meter alongside a main one. It's also small, cute, fits in my pocket, can light up a white LED, and I never worry about connecting it to "risky" circuits. --- Quote from: tautech on November 05, 2022, 05:01:49 am ---Close, 15B, before they did the + thing. --- End quote --- They don't make that one any more. The closest is the 12E but that's nearly twice the price of a 101. For less money than a Fluke 12E you can get a Brymen with uA range and beep-jack alert. Maybe you do your homework and tell us which one? |

My 15B hasn't missed a beat in the nearly 10yrs I've had it and was brought with full knowledge there was no warranty outside China along with another 16 units, 15 supplied to a customer and 2 kept for warranty in case it was needed, it wasn't, these are Flukes. ;) |

I forgot we were in the November sales so they might be cheaper this week. $77 isn't the price I get when I click that link though, I get this: (Plus I'll have to pay 20% VAT, but we'll ignore that for the sake of argument). The Brymen you're trying hard to ignore is the BM805s, which I can get all year round for 58 Euros. |
