Reminds me of DT830. :) I think it would be difficult to damage it from short falls.
This an860b+ is a bit heavier, and the display scratches easily, so I'd rather not drop it.

I'm surprised the unit was not damaged in the post because it just came in its pouch and put in a bubble wrap bag along with the accessories :palm: In fact there is not a mark on it and it works perfectly  :phew:

Did anyone else get there's delivered like this ?

cheers

Mine finally came too; and no, mine did not even have the bubble wrap. Just the typical white Chinese plastic bag. I was expecting a cracked screen, but it all seems fine.

Yesterday I noticed some bits of cracked black plastic in the bubble wrap bag. Trying to work out where they came from it looks like one of the plastic knobs for the cord puller on the protective bag that comes with the meter took a direct hit and disintegrated. It's sheer luck that more of these meters aren't damaged  :scared:

Mine came in a plastic bag with one layer of bubble wrap around it, no box. It survived.

Has anybody else used it for any length of time with the auto power off disabled? Mine beeps all the time. It's supposed to beep as a warning when it's about to shut off, but apparently disabling the auto power off doesn't disable those beeps.

The AN8002  :-DMM I bought a few months ago when BG had them for $12 & change came in its pouch with one layer of bubble wrap inside one of those gray film mailers. Arrived in perfect condition, then it got a big old scar across the LCD minutes after I opened it up when I turned around and knocked it off the bench while tossing the screen protector in the trash due to some annoying bubbles I couldn't get rid of.  :palm: No, the irony of this event is not lost on me.  :P

I expect similar shipping care will be applied to my AN8008.   :-DD

Yes, that calibration expires soon, but 98% of the Flukes in service have NEVER been calibrated, and we still trust them (in general). That screen costs ~$9, last I checked.

I wonder whose truck that meter "fell" off of... so conveniently WITHOUT the bag of leads. ;)

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid if you were to sell stolen goods that have so many identifying properties. The previous owner should recognize the marker text and the screen protector at first glance.

Then again, people selling stolen goods aren't quite known for their ability to make good choices.

You know, I just realized... and maybe I picked up on it subconsciously when I first thought it was stolen... but if you look carefully, you can see that the writing on the bottom of the meter has been altered.

The original writing is a bit faded... something like " VALVE PROTO " I think. Looks like our fleaBay pirate won his little game of Russian Roulette; it sold for $128.  ::)

[EDIT]



Sonuvacrap... I think I know where it came from. The VALVE PROTOTYPING department of Goulds Pumps; they have a manufacturing complex in Seneca Falls, about 15 minutes east of Geneva, NY.

We sell only fleas of the highest quality.
