content: EDIT - nevermind, I think this is a scam site. I thought it might be too good to be true... They also have Flukes for pennies on the dollar. Proceed at your own risk. But it's nice to dreamWas Googling around on Brymen meters and discovered this offer from TopCon:https://www.testingtoolsshop.com/wattmaster-rms-digital-multimeter-watel-bm829/No experience with this company, but they have a US address.Seems like a good deal!My Greenlee DM820A (aka Brymen BM827S) has proved exceptionally reliable over the years. Just ordered Dave's BM235 for a second meter because I've recently discovered the usefulness of the low impedance feature when working on mains wiring. This should hold me for a whileKinda wish I had found this before I ordered the BM235, but it's already on it's way and at least I'm supporting Dave a little bit ;-)

content: I love the list price on this $595 USD. On sale for 98.99 USDwhen you can probably get this meter for $10 USD off ebay. I can see the beginner already blowing the fuse with the Volt/Ohm/mA all in one jack.https://www.testingtoolsshop.com/sidchrome-12v-mini-digital-multimeter-scmt70819/
