Who the hell actually holds a multimeter in one hand?

I'm gonna make a stand for it, it's just hell to prop up and keeps falling down and the LCD glare is means you have to keep moving it around to read the display.
I think a 60 degree wood block and coat-hanger wire to fit into the bail? Or maybe slide it into a mount.

Any ideas?

This being a very compact meter, adding a bulky stand would defeat the purpose for me. I expect to use this when travelling, or when working outside or in the garage.

I might glue a magnet to the back to allow for hands-free operation when working on the car or bike. Or I might actually hold it in one hand (which is much preferred over holding it in two hands). ;)

Putting it on the bag or adding some rubber feet should allow you to operate it with one hand. The screen contrast is excellent when looking at it from below, so putting it on the table without the tilting bale should work fine. If you want to do a measurement and just need to look at it, you can always put it up.

Lets face it the AN8008 just another piece of junk.  Why split hairs over this?

Why do you think it is a piece of junk? If you forget about mains voltages and the tilting bale, it does things that only much more expensive multimeters do.

Even the most expensive tools have their limitations. It is up to the workman to use them wisely.
