Hi, I never posted here before (just lurking) but maybe someone is interested in some photos of a re-brand of a Mastech 8228(?) multimeter I just acquired. The particular re-brand I picked up was from Harbor Freight (ugh, I know), item # 98674 under the brand "Cen-Tech". With a 25% rebate I got this one for about $45 to the door ((44.99 * 0.75) * 1.085 (tax) + 6.99 (shipping)).
I haven't seen any particular reviews of this model, but what makes it somewhat unique are the Lux (luminosity) and dB (sound level) measuring capabilities. For me the important parts are the uA/mA ranges which I miss on my own handheld Flukes. While testing this meter it had no problem staying within spec. Not great specs but good enough for my purposes. From the manual:
DC
Range Res. Acc.
400uA 0.1uA
4000uA 1uA
40mA 10uA +- 1.2%
400mA 100uA
4A 1mA
-----------------------
10A 10mA +- 2.0%
The other specs are similar, all +-1.2% and +-2% in the higher ranges. +-3% for capacitance. As you can see in the pictures there are tons of pots. I suppose I could spend some time calibrating this against my Fluke 8840A if have the patience
Edit: Changed title to mention 8229 instead of 8228 which this indeed is.
