| Any modern alternatives to the Brymen BM867s? |

I too could use a second DMM as my bench HP3468a and Fluke 89 IV are my only meters. I am looking at the Brymen BM867S, and also some test leads. I have Mueller and some PeakTech leads that I think I bought from TME. The PeakTech are shrouded pluggable both ends with PeakTech pincer clips which plug on. I was looking at the Brymen PP BM 10A that were recommended here, but wondered if: * These will accept a screw-on test clip such as the Mueller BU-00207? * Are there adapters available that allow the shrouded ends to plug into an older piece of gear, such as my HP bench meter? The leads must be 600Vdc capable. Thanks for your thoughts. |

9v batteries absolutely do leak. I once bought a bulk pack (8 or 10) of 9v alkalines from a major big-box home improvement store. A year or so later, after using maybe 4-5 of them, I went to get another and the remaining batteries and the box were all crusty and green. I'd never seen that much battery leakage at one time, especially from 9v's and with brand-new unused batteries still in the package. I immediately confiscated the rest that I had already installed in devices as I didn't trust them. I too tend to prefer AA/AAA for convenience, both in terms of flexibility and ease of charging (out of all of my various chargers, I *might* have one that charges a 9v). But I also have devices including meters (e.g. my Fluke 87V) that take 9v batteries and they work fine. I certainly wouldn't consider that a deal breaker for a meter that met all of my other requirements. |

My accesories are not threaded but are compatilble with this probes. |

Hi, I use the 867S on a daily basis and had no issues with a 9V block or the DMM itself. The connector certainly looks and feels too flimsy, but it does the job. Sometimes I just wished that the Brymen allowed for a higher Diode test voltage, possible with 9V. The 500.000 count setting is the one I use most ... daily checks of thermocouple elements., The silicon probes are really good, especially at their price point. I'd use them throughout if I didn't use Probe Master 8017. jauu Calvin |
