It is now.

SeoulBigChris:
I really like my 121GW, but there is one annoying thing - using it with the bail is a bit unstable. Has anyone come up with an alternative solution, perhaps something we could 3D print? It the bail was a little bit wider, I think it would go a long way for improving the (mechanical) stability.

Kleinstein:
A tilting bail with a handheld meter is never really stable because of the limited weight - so maybe it works with a 1960's military one that weighs in at > 2 kg. It is more like a compromise that works as long as one does not move the probes / cables. In some cases a coffey mug to put the bail part in can work for extra stability.

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.
