--- Quote from: Ugur on December 30, 2022, 06:40:10 am ---Beha Amprobe is a Fluke affiliate brand. Their prices are more affordable than Fluke and are of Fluke quality. --- End quote --- This is not really accurate as Amprobe has rebrands as well as various products from their past company history. The Wavetek/Meterman/Amprobe/Beha-Amprobe/Fluke relationship is pretty obnoxious honestly. Also, as of right now the "Meterman" brand appears to have been sold off and is mostly Uni-T rebrands. Anyway, the Amprobe clamp and pocket meters that are Brymen rebrands are pretty good, the Amprobe "proper" in-house DMMs such as the Amprobe 38XR-A and similar are OK as well. The Amprobe 15XP-B and LCR55A I think are from the Wavetek/Meterman days and are interesting but only so-so. The Amprobe AM-5xx products are questionable as they are imported rebrands. If you want the lower price/quality, just buy direct. |

Hello everyone. I've given thoughts about all your comments. The plan is to acquire two brymen 869s to test in the field. |

Hello everyone. I've bought a 789 and a 869s and will be handing them out shortly. First impressions are that the dial is very stiff to turn, also based on how it feels i wonder if it will survive alot of drops (because the case is flush). Other than that it feels very nice, and the display on the 869s is an absolute treat to look at!! |

Actually, if you use it in a heavy glove, than the switch feels just right. Although not sure whether that was the intention with the desigh. So it can be useful in some enviroments. |

Oi there :-p I'm late into this thread and sort of a lurker on this forum, also this is not exactly on topic. If you look into brymen meters for service of 3-phase stuffs check out their clamp meters with 3 terminal phase rotation like the BM079 , especially if you have techs that are looking to carry less gear into the field. A note on brymens is that their probes are good but they have no real options for additional things like magnetic probe-tips or proper sized and safe clamp on probes. Also for the everyday toss-around and abuse, go fluke t5/t6 if your not already on those. |
