Technical multimeter review and tear-down, more than 110

[geogeo]

I really like your review page. It's great that you keep the format essentially the same for all reviews, that makes it very easy to compare 2 different meters.

This is a great multimeter review resource. Thank you very much.

I had been looking at the Brymen BM869s, but it seems the Greenlee DM-860A is generally more available in the USA (maybe easier to get proper warranty support in the USA?).

From the reviews linked from this thread, it appears that the MASTECH MS8218 quality and design may not be as solid as the Brymen or Greenlee?

I guess one could buy the Brymen BM869s here ($270?): https://www.welectron.com/Brymen-BM869s-Multimeter_1  But then the warranty might be an issue

Mastech is a typical Chinese multimeter, i.e. quality and safety is lower.

It is very seldom you need warranty on a multimeter, but if you want warranty, go for Greenlee, it is the same meter.

Greenlee is the Brymen distributor in the USA but they have a big markup and a horrible color (IMHO).

You're very unlikely to ever need it, ie. It's certainly less than $100 of risk on your part.

(if it's DOA then I don't think Welectron will let you down)
