It is small, I can take a pic on monday from it in relation of other meters when I´m at work.

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.

Yeah, unfortunately we are no longer in the EU :( :(

Right now I'm banging my head a little against the wall as I have almost found the perfect combination but* unfortunately the small/cute model doesn't measure current :(


I actually short listed down to these two - one for practical use and the other for more high performance use:


* DT4223
* DT4282
It seems I didn't read the specs properly as the 422x series doesn't measure current or resistance, while the 3/4 models do resistance but not current. 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

nightfire:
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...

kayasaman:
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
