Big corporation and government contract pricing.  :)

They simply aren't worth it if you can get hold of a Brymen.

Even the famous warranty doesn't mean much when you can buy three Brymens for the price of one Fluke.

I had the original 87 bought in 1988. It had bad display and so I had them fixed it in the mid 90's under warranty. Until 2004 it once again had bad display and I sent it in they don't fix it any more. So the lifetime warranty doesn't cover their or my lifetime.

However, your original comment, to which I was replying, said “DMMs”. I then used the word “multimeters”. The job listing says “meters”. And while all DMMs are multimeters, and all multimeters are meters, not all meters are DMMs. Fluke makes a whole stable of other meters. So we can’t necessarily infer from the job listing that they will do multimeter development in Poland.

Of course, though, I clearly missed what you meant by it, which is why I noted it. I appreciate you taking the time to help me catch up to what you were saying :)

"I don't understand gravity or celestial mechanics, so the earth must be flat and the moon landing was a hoax."
"I don't understand why people would buy a Fluke, so it must just be big corporations and government contracts."

Anyway, there is a Fluke 87V w/AC clamp deal right now on Amazon for $476.98:

Some other deals to be found too...

a) They won't ship to me
b) My BM857s cost me a third of that "deal"

any mechanical designers out there want to help?

I have a diy POC working with an esp-01 chip and a coin cell battery.

the next step is to make some small enclosure that fits around a DMM test probe (or maybe replaces it?) and has this button circuit.

if anyone wants to help, we can get this moving along.  the hardware and firmware is not hard; the hard part is making something you'd WANT to hold and be slim enough or hand-friendly enough so that its useful in real life.

I think we can do better than that photo mock-up from fluke.
