content: When you buy Chinese stuff you just have to take what you get. If you want one of their instruments, check if you can find the manual. That should give you some idea of tolerances and what not. I much prefer used instruments off eBay than new Chinese instruments, although I have a few.

There are a lot of bottom of the range proposition, but also a few fairly respectable manufacturers.Used products come with their own woes. Some provide excellent value for money, while others are time and money sinks.

content: I think Tonghui do OEM for some big guys.E.g. BK Precision 2831Ehttp://www.bkprecision.com/products/multimeters/2831E-4-1-2-digit-true-rms-bench-digital-multimeter.htmllooks suspiciously like the Tonghui TH1952http://www.tonghui.com.cn/en/Product/Digital%20Multimeter/432.htmlTheir LCR meters also look a lot like Keysight LCR meters.http://www.keysight.com/en/pd-715495-pn-E4980A/precision-lcr-meter-20-hz-to-2-mhz?nid=-34124.536908436&cc=AU&lc=enghttp://www.tonghui.com.cn/en/Product/lcr/2014/1201/358.html

content: Tonghui is a good brand. They make good LCR meters. They are also an OEM for BK Precision. I think all BK LCR meters are made by Tonghui.A lot of Chinese brands are crap, but I would not count Tonghui among the bad ones.

content: Quote from: gamalot on October 26, 2017, 05:26:28 pmThat implies they're an OEM for many large brands, but I've seen a lot implied or outright said by unscrupulous manufacturers, when the truth was quite different. I'm not saying they're not, but I need more than an image from their own website to go on.

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on October 26, 2017, 05:36:47 pmOK, I will try to explain more.Tonghui started to clone LCR meters from long time ago, since Keysight was called HP. Their customers are mainly component manufacturers, not electronic hobbies.I am a electronic engineer from China, I think I know almost every Chinese test instrument manufacturer, and I also think I know which one is good or not.You believe or not, I have bought a 'huge' amount of electronic components on Taobao, and never been fooled, which means that I have a good sense of judgement.The only reason I didn't buy a Tonghui LCR meter is because of their are too expensive to me, so I've bought a used Japanese one instead.
