There's also a "BM857s-WB" which is even cheaper. Anybody know what "WB" stands for? ("White Box"?) |

Whatever meter you get you should budget for some gold-plated leads. :) Luckily, Brymen leads are cheap: https://brymen.eu/shop/silicone-test-leads-bl21s2-t4sc-brymen/ PS: Welectron does a "plus pack" which includes gold leads and a Brymen case for 15 Euros. |

Many people from this forum bought Brymen multimeters from TME, once it was one of the few stores where you could buy them in the EU (offices are in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands - you can call and ask about the differences in the WB version) |

The price is the same as welectron and brymen.eu though, so I guess the other model is the expensive one. TME is an expensive place to buy Brymens - their BM829s is about 199 euros compared to 149 on the brymen.eu site. |

Apparently for this reason, they are currently buying versions without a battery from a manufacturer in Taiwan. --- Quote from: Fungus on September 02, 2022, 03:13:56 am ---TME is an expensive place to buy Brymens - their BM829s is about 199 euros compared to 149 on the brymen.eu site. --- End quote --- It depends on the currency you want to pay in (in the Czech Republic it may look better as you don't pay for the conversion but pay in the local currency). It is also worth comparing shipping costs to another country. Of course, I am not saying that it is cheaper, but a person living in the Czech Republic can compare whether it is better to pay in CZK or in Euro). I used to buy the equipment myself in Germany - because there was a lower VAT (19%), after the recent changes, regardless of where I buy in the EU (in online stores), I have to pay 23% VAT anyway, so buying locally it is cheaper (lower shipping costs, etc.). A person buying to the Czech Republic from Germany will also pay more (21% VAT). |
