Do you have any photos showing a Brymen clamp meter that looks like the Fluke 373s? --- End quote --- I'm saying it doesn't have to look like a Brymen product to be made by them, when it's a Fluke product. Why would Fluke have someone make a product which doesn't look like a Fluke? |

It is within the realm of reason that once Fluke and Ambrobe became owned by the same parent company, that some of Fluke's manufacturing facilities now make Amprobe products as well, or at least do final assembly. So your smoking gun of this product shipment to "Fluke" is very likely simply Brymen shipping the Amprobe models that are rebrands we already know about. I have the Amprobe AMP-330, for example. So yes, there is plenty of clear, solid evidence of Brymen making DMMs for other companies like Amprobe & Flir, such as identical LCDs, switch/button layouts, etc. Without similar evidence showing Brymen making completed Fluke-branded products, it's just pure speculation. Also, there is a big difference from sourcing certain parts from another supplier, VS. outright just rebranding the entire product. So for sure let's keep the discussion on a technical level and stick with arguments that can be backed up. The clamp assembly found on the Fluke 771 process meter and similar is one that I found interesting, as it's very good at low currents. 0.1mA accuracy is no problem for it. I've not seen brands like Brymen make anything similar, although I'm open to suggestion if there is some evidence. |

Any time at all. |

Slow down buddy, not sure why you are being so hostile, I looked at your links... I did not see any direct evidence that Brymen is manufacturing the Fluke 373. The link provided could literally mean that Fluke sent Brymen a bunch of 373 meters and Brymen shipped them back. I'm not saying that, I'm just pointing out the vagueness of what is shown there. All of the Fluke 373 units I see for sale currently on ebay either don't show a country of origin or clearly state Assembled in China, such as this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284887002598 None of Brymen's current or past clamp meters that I could find match the 373 (please correct me if I'm mistaken). Every rebranded Brymen I have seen so far has been immediately recognizable. And this is logical, as it doesn't make sense for Fluke to have Brymen make a completely different product, otherwise there would not be good cost savings. You would have to reconfigure your factory to make just that one Fluke product, then back to Brymen products... It makes more sense for Fluke to ask Brymen to make small tweaks to an existing product that they already manufacture, such as logos, buttons, etc. So I would more likely suspect Brymen is handling the final packaging for the Fluke 373 since the manual states printed in Taiwan, but not the assembly of the 373 meter, as it states Assembled in China. Just one theory that comes to mind. And to be clear, I really don't care who makes the 373 or where, and am not a Fluke fanboy, so I'm really just digging into this because I'm curious. |
