eg. This one (Get the base one, the accessory kit is rubbish. Get some gold probes instead)
Edit: Get gold probes for your Brymen, too. They're only 10 Euros and well worth it.

I'd second that. Two cheaper meters is likely to will be more useful than one expensive one. And the left over money can buy other stuff.

I’m sure this is a stupid question, but why the love for two meters? A meter plus DSO I understand, but the 2 DMMs eludes me.
Also, it looks like the 857s comes with gold-plated leads. Are those different from the gold probes linked above?

Two meters is usually a good combination as it can give you simultaneous voltage and current measurements - something that can be done with the oscilloscope and a DMM as well (although the scope has much lower resolution than any meter).
Another aspect is to double-check your instrument in case you suspect a reading is wrong due to harmonics, frequency of signal, an uncovered defect, etc. Ideally the recommendation is also done to avoid breaking the bank - i.e., having one very good meter and one average.

There's measurements that require 4 DMMs simultaneously. :)

Are the gold-tipped probes included with the 857s any worse than the separate ones you linked.

Hello DMM experts,
Just to wake up an old thread. I have one question.
Does somebody measure the AC bandwidth of BM867S?
Thanks in advance
