| Mastech Meters, Good/Bad/JustOk ? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| MrAl:
Hello there, What do you think about Mastech meters, like multimeters, clamp meters, and upper end bench meters? I see the pricing is very good for some of these meters. |
| Fungus:
Are they being regularly discussed here? If not ... it's because nobody's buying them. |

They’re low end stuff. Work fine I guess, but wouldn’t use them on mains (in that I wouldn’t trust any CAT ratings). I have a manual-ranging Mastech someone gave me, and I’ll use it if all of my Fluke, Keithley, Keysight, and Aneng meters are already in use. (So almost never.) |

Mastech is an older brand with original multimeter designs, which I give a lot of credit when compared to the copycat business so popular these days. Their current product line is comprised of several meters with nothing exceptional w.r.t. specifications. In the past they created the M830B that spawned the swaths of clones around a multitude of brands and used to have a below average track record. However, nowadays they have heaps of products with ETL/Intertek certification, therefore are well above the average of the more popular (at least around EEV) brands. I have a couple of their meters and the last one I got is much better built than an older one. |

I have a Mastech MS2108A AC/DC clamp meter, and am heavily outnumbered by Uni-T 210 users here... I was pleasantly surprised therefore to see Ian Johnston using one in a recent video! I own Uni-T 139C, and many and varied Flukes, HPAK's, Brymen, Gossen etc, and I'll say it's at least as good (in terms of build quality) as the Uni-T, if not on a par with the premium brands, and has pretty good accuracy. |
