This article is of-course bogus. But seriously, who on Youtube does not shill?

I was in a toss up between the 121gw and the bm869s and I had the eevblog bm786 so I got the brymen from the polite sales people at Welectron and there was an issue wirh the buzzer not latching and they wanted me to send it on my dime to Germany from nova Scotia because their site for an rma postage slip didn't support Canada. I had it less then a month so it was a matter of principal and they were less than helpful. I ended up fixing it myself and refrained from an ebay complaint as I know I was an anomaly. They could've given me a partial refund but I didn't ask and insulted them. My mother spoke German so I picked up some silly insults as a child. I feel bad about it now and I'm soured using it so I went back to mu old one. The 121gw will be added to my collection next as long as they don't drain my sunbeam batteries when it goes into standby hahaha. What a video. Fella gets one for free and complains about it. Complains about his free scope and was given a tek dmm916 that he doesn't use as well. It's a great old meter. I have one as well.

You should do a pimp your meter series joe. Someone sends in one with a few hundred bucks and put it through the ringer then repair it haha. I'd encase it in acrylic in an exploded view with lit labels showing the mods haha.

Just one man's opinion haha.

I think you greatly underestimate what is involved.  First, very few meters are actually ever able to be repaired.  Most go to the recycle bins.  It's only the upper class of meters that I have looked at that could be repaired.  You may need two meters minimum.   

Higher class meters take more time to test.   Plus you have the down time of the equipment.  Maybe two days of work spread out over a week or two.  Then there is the legal side.  Contacts, liability... 

Of course, there is also the reverse engineering, the assuming coming up with what ever design changes ...  More testing...

That seems like a huge effort, even if you increased the payment by a couple of magnitudes.    My advice is if you want something robust, just by it.  Stick with the brands that have a proven track record.   The fact you're talking about getting a 121GW with known problems like cracking plastics, tells me that's not all that important.

Hello, I have had a uni-t ut58c (manual range) since 2015 and it has worked very well, but with use and several falls its display is already damaged, and I think that at any moment it will fail completely, I have tried several cheap multimeters from other brands and the uni-t brand as well.

but I have not found one with the following characteristics (the ut58c has them)
-super fast continuity test speed.
-loud and clear continuity sound (I'm a little deaf already)
-rapid acquisition of voltage measurement
-screen with big numbers

something good that is also desirable
-firm stand (I can manipulate it with one hand)
- the screen is not as affected by light reflections.

I would like to know which would be the best option for up to about 200usd, the precision and resolution or display counts, as well as its cat certifications are not so important, since I only use it for repairs of electronic equipment (notebook mostly)
