I've seen some reviews on brymen's multi-meters and i'm quite impressed, especially the dual display BM869, but i can't find it neither on amazon nor ebay! I'm located in Canada, can someone give me a heads up where can i order one?
Thanks in advance

I havn't been real impressed with ANENG's products.   I bought the Brymen through TME.  You may want to consider them.

Re: Good cheap multi-meter?

Fluke 114 has TRMS and Min Max and keeps up and agrees well enough with the 87V and 8060A afaict
the bonus is it has the Low-Z feature the other two Flukes lack
and because of no current inputs, so no expensive fuses or suicidal operator to fry
it's a great little troubleshoot prodder  :-/O  with believable CAT ratings  :o

If you don't need current measurements or some other features it lacks, it's cheap/er and has that Fluke professional vibe  :-DMM
and leaves many other Fluke and Aneng cheapies in the dust

Otherwise consider a Fluke 117 which has more bells and whistles and can take a bump or two as well,
or go the Brymen big daddy meter if you're pushed into that spend ballpark

Canadian Tire's selection of multimeters is decent.  When on sale they represent good value.

I have the Maxiumum #052-1898-4.  It's been good around my bench,

Look to see if you can find "Greenlee" meters. They rebadge Brymens over there.

That's really weird. Every review of the AN8008 I've seen has praised its LCD, and based on my own unit I completely agree. (It's a clearer, more contrasty LCD than what my Fluke 87V uses.) I wonder what happened with yours. :(
