Is it actually on the small side or are the pictures deceiving? --- End quote --- It is small, I can take a pic on monday from it in relation of other meters when I´m at work. --- End quote --- Tuesday... 8) From left to right: Fluke 115, 117, 175, 87V, 289 and my private brymen 869s. --- End quote --- Very cool!! :D |

For EU, www.reichelt.de seems like a good possibility. As for the models, the DT4261 is a good compromise between features and price, unless the real strengths of the DT4282 are really needed. |

Maybe they are too small to include the circuitry to measure current? It seems a strange design choice... Because of that I have been comparing with the Brymen 257s which is slightly bigger (not too much) but still does the basic measurements of V/A/R and a whole bunch more.... It's almost like having the DT2456 in a smaller package. This is where things start to become even more difficult |O |

Hioki also promotes the absence of current measurement on some models as an active safety feature that prevents accidental voltage probing with leads put in the Amps range... |

That's probably what it is.... The compact models don't have removable leads from what I can see which makes their socket shutters redundant That makes sense Well I guess tomorrow I'll give the distributors a ping and see what they say as to where I can get them from and hopefully then I'll also have some pricing to compare too |
