Here are a couple of options in regards to an improved stand on the 121GW.   :-DMM

Or you could always print these hanger options too in either magnetic or strap versions. On the bench the meter seems ok to me but wider is better, in the field for me at least the magnetic one works great for sticking on enclosures or equipment.

SeoulBigChris:
Thanks for those links. I hadn’t thought about magnetic mount - I like that. I also really need a better 2nd meter, and put a BM786 on order today.

Terribly minor issue, and not worth a thread.
The left hand side (from rear of board) of the 400ma fuse mount is the wrong way around.
Just thought I'd mention it in case Dave wanted to shoot a note upstream.


Going to have to send it back for repair... wouldn't want to void the warranty....
.... Oh.. hang on, EEVblog has no issues with competent self repair.

There was a reason I wanted this!

Great unit Dave, very happy, attention to detail is excellent.
AAs instead of 9v
Captive screws
Metal inserts
Actual HRC fuses unlike the 250v glass/air fuses in my 1000V CATIV rated UniT
 :-DMM   <-- can we get an emote with a blue housing around the multimeter?

v81,
Since this may become an issue I'll start.  SN EEVBlog 001421 is ok.

Even with its little quirks its a great meter and I'd buy again.

FYI after a few years of testing NiMH batteries I have settled on recharge at 5.0V displayed.  This has consistently provided 4-5 month intervals with more use than my wife would like to see.   (I've lately been logging my refrigerator and freezer temperatures  ^-^ )
