content: That is an extremely impressive multimeter, great accuracy and 60k count, and fast (for a handheld!) data logging over USB, and very long battery life. There's also a Bluetooth module that is worth buying for it; the mobile software is quite nice, it allows user-defined formulas (so you could plug in a thermistor formula for instance, to measure and chart temperature, or attach any other sensor and view measurements in real-time in the correct units). I found that module also handy for automotive use, for example crank the engine, and see the voltage dip/rise etc on the battery on a chart, on a mobile phone while sitting inside the car.Minor negative: there are a ton of features, so many that it takes delving into the user manual to recall how to access them.I'd want to buy that if I didn't already have one. To be honest, I'd rather sell all my other handheld meters and keep the U1282A.

content: Yeah way to go Fluke !!!They are morons.Apart from not being same color, it is not like you are company selling line of products with a "questionable design".If they don't like colour, why they don't sue Keysight...What is next? Ferrari suing other manufacturers for selling red cars.How was it even possible to register as a trademark such a basic property like color?What is next? I can register round shape or fact something is handheld? Let's trademark a circle?

content: The hellTons of other Flukes and Keysight meters are still sold on FLeabay, why nagging ?And its not the 1st time he sell things on Ebay ?? his reputation is good ?A few years back, "they" took down if i recall a Sparkfun skid of 2000x ''yellow'' meters, it ignited a controversy, and as a result they offered real Flukes to compensate ...https://www.sparkfun.com/news/1428and lastly it must be B.O.T.S who reported, not even humans loll

content: U1282A is a nice meter, I had one for a while. It's huge for a handheld, which is fine if you like big digit display and you have big hands! I switched to the U1272A, which IMHO is one of the best handhelds for an electronics engineer.

If we report a listing for keyword or brand-name spamming (or other reasons), the AI decision decides no policy has been violated & does nothing, hence I don't bother reporting anymore, ePay search is trying to replicate the mess known as sc-Amazon.Can they also take down yellow items that predate the trademark crap from Phluke?David

content: I think other manufacturers should sue for dissolvement of trademark based on such basic physical property as color.What is next? I think UNI-T or Brymen should register red rubber holster and sue Fluke for their Ex line of meters...Then another manufacturer get smart and register use of all other color variations and sue everybody else.How on earth was even possible for Fluke to register something like color.It is like registering use of green bottles.

content: Are they going to take down auctions for DMMs form other brands, that predate this trademark BS?Who even made the first DMM with a yellow holster? I'm sure I have an analog ohmmeter with a yellow painted case from the 1950s, will these be unavailable on ePay if the Puke lawyers get their stupid way?David

content: The colour of your meter does look like it is yellow. But yes, just saying yellow should be insufficient, We have pantone, RAL and many other colour systems for a reason.I had a listing on amazon for the BM786 removed because it had mentioned the Fluke equivalent. I don't list on Amazon anymore at all anyway.Don't forget we live in a democracy, every $ of your wealth has the same value as anyone else's.

content: ...and what about Chauvin Arnoux, with their DMMs which are definitely coloured in yellow...? The C.A 5289 is old, but the C.A 5277 is out of the current production range?I guess it is a problem of the "new" jobs of warning lawyers, having fun to make some easy earned money by trolling the sales portals. It is the same situation with your health insurance: you only get your right, when you file an objection. Unfortunately, we have to cope with these times...Cheers!
