content: Hi all,Looks like Brymen is phasing out the BM22s (but not the BM25s and the BM27s):http://www.brymen.com/PD02BM20s_22s.htmlI was looking to buy one of these, but can't find them anywhere (Not interested by BM25s or BM27s).Did anyone have any information about a hypothetical replacement? Did Brymen make any announcement?!

content: So i hope that they will come back with a nice replacement to the BM22S: i got one of these years ago, and it served me very well (can't say the same of my Sefram 7303 - AKA Benning MMP3)...

content: What specific functions are you needing on the BM22s? There is also the Amprobe variant, the AM-42 that you might be able to locate.Personally I am a huge fan of the Amprobe AM-47, although it does not have the hold function...

content: Function needed: basic stuff that you find in pocket multimeter: Volts, ohms, continuity, diodeAmprobe AM-42 looks very nice! But can't find it anyware...Instead, find this:https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32937443791.html?spm=a2g0w.12057483.0.0.3b716f6cv3eVUy

content: Although a bit less featured than the Amprobe, there is also the Sanwa PM3 which seems to be.a reasonable meter (I have its big brother PM300 bought from Dave, which is an excellent meter).https://overseas.sanwa-meter.co.jp/products/digital_multimeters/pm3.html#specification

content: Hi all,Finally get one BM22S (a Meterman rebranded one to be exact).Work flawlessly, surpass the BM27S in every aspect (but no continuity).
