There are probably others... Also: holy crap the size of their catalogue :o |

Brymen BM22s plus a resistor shunt? |

First post. Have spent way too much time in last months looking at getting a few more DMMS, the Mustool MT-108T is on my list for a small handy DMM. It has gotten some decent reviews, full details on Lygate-info.dk. Of course it pushes your boundary for size, but nails everything else- AAAs, small to full currents. You can remove the holster and it might be pretty close to the Fluke 107 in volume- the picture on Lygate with the holster off suggests it could lose almost 1 cm in thickness, but its just a picture and I don't have one in hand to measure. I wisely decided to spread out my new (to me) meter purchases, only 4 in the last 6 weeks. Following your format: Mustool MT-108T 6000 Y Y Y Y 2xAAA 145 mm 70 mm 37mm 380 cm^3, which without holster should go down to 300 cm^3. Or the Mustool MT66 (now sold as Bside ADM66. It loses the min/max (and manual ranges). It seems bigger with the side wing probe holders, but I am sure it gets smaller with holster removal, estimating from someone elses picture to about 310 cm^3 Finally, pure volume calculated by largest dimensions is a rough guide to how much space something takes up, but the knob ridge protrusion on the two Mustool models might not use up much space in your travel kit. Or the side probe holders on the MT66 wouldn't add much more volume than the probes alone if there were a pair of probes in them wrapped around the DMM. Wade |

FWIW I wouldn't class anything as a "pocket" multimeter that doesn't have a place to store the probes. You really don't want the leads to be flapping in the breeze or making holes in your pockets/leg. That should be #1 on the list even if it makes the meter a bit bigger. (Yes, that rules out several meters that are sold as "pocket meters", eg. the Brymen BM27) --- Quote from: Wmesquite on February 16, 2023, 01:44:32 am ---Finally, pure volume calculated by largest dimensions is a rough guide to how much space something takes up --- End quote --- But don't forget the leads... :scared: |

Amprobe makes a small, zippered case that holds the Brymen (and rebrands) pocket DMMs perfectly: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amprobe/VC3A/4692532 https://www.testequipmentdepot.com/amprobe/accessories/cases-and-holsters/soft-carrying-cases/zippered-carrying-case-vc3a.htm This has been my go-to pocket setup for a while, plus there is room for a spare coin cell battery and the user manual. A big negative about the Brymen pocket DMMs (and rebrands) is the short length of the metal portion of the probes. Some deep outlets are out of reach... |
