What's the cheapest 0.02% accuracy handheld meter

<< < (8/16) > >>

BeBuLamar:
I have a good number of meters and none has 0.02% basic accuracy specs. The best I have are the Fluke 287 and 289 which only get 0.025%. The 189 is the same. The 87V is only 0.05%. And none is cheap so I don't know how to get 0.02% cheap.

Get one of these instead:  :)



They're a fraction of the price of any of those others you listed.

So now you have to define "the task".

That's the job of whoever is buying the meter. I can't define it for someone else.

Aaaaand ... we've gone full circle.

I would dispute the claim of Brymen meters being "cheap". I would describe them as "less expensive". Their reputation for random MCU failures is troubling; it's not going to be leading edge silicon fab technology, so why is it unreliable? Failure rates on something like that should be so low that you never hear about it.
Equally troubling is the apparent cost-cutting by Fluke on the plastics they use for their connectors in recent years; is it an in house or third party supplier issue? I don't know, but they need to sort it.

"Reputation"? I don't know where you're getting that from.
