How about try for the Brymen BM867s or the BM869s? |

Do you have some experience with those? |

Not really like I need it for fixing 100 000$ equipment for a company. I just want to be reasonably sure that I'm not accidentally giving my circuits like 6V instead of 5V. --- End quote --- Let me say that, probably most of the people here use multimeters here for hobby purposes. When it comes to Brymen meters in these applications, you will probably never need to calibrate. I also use my Brymen 869S for hobby, I bought it in 2016 and so far there are no problems with it. There is also no need for calibration. If you buy a multimeter of this brand, you will have it for a very long time. They are solidly made, retain parameters and are really hard to damage. When choosing the model you want to buy, consider the features you need. These multimeters also differ in the degree of accuracy, but even those with "inferior" accuracy will suffice for amateur purposes. Personally, I recommend buying such a multimeter, I know it is a considerable expense - but I am happy myself and if I need another multimeter, it will probably also be a Brymen. |

BM857s is from Brymen's older design style. BM78x is a new product line with 60,000 counts, while the BM857s & BM86x for example are 50,000 count. The BM78x has had some growing pains. I have the BM789 and it has two known bugs, a clicking sound at power on and no shielding over the speaker so the magnet option mutes the speaker. Another bug involves hunting between two ranges, but my specific unit isn't affected. No dual display and no interface option are a couple negatives of the BM78x depending on your point of view I suppose. 60,000 count is an advantage. It uses 3xAAA batteries instead of 9V and they are easier to replace. The discussion could go on a bit. With your use-case in your head, check out all the reviews of the DMMs you're contemplating and see if something naturally falls into place. |
