I don't know about this forum, I came here to learn about electronics, swap ideas and exchange techniques. I came to this thread to learn about an entry level bench multimeter. It is under $200 and does a lot of things reasonably well. What I see instead in ten pages is about ten good posts, the rest are guys trashing the meter like people paid $2000 for it and puffing out their chest with huge superiority complexes. People posted that the box is empty, of course it is!!! It was made to fit a certain footprint. People are trashing it because it doesn't do a good job on mains voltage, duh it is a bench multimeter, not really intended to go to the jobsite. I see people saying that you would be better off buying a used meter on ebay, not everyone can afford to gamble buying used equipment, this has a warranty, this does alot and will get them by, if they can afford more later they can always sell it and upgrade later. Very few people are saying anything constructive. k2teknik added some great comments as did alm and nctnico. For those with negative comments perhaps they could do comparisons with other bench meters in the under $200 category, that's what should done in a thread like this.
I don't no why the mods don't clean up this thread, take out 90% of the no use negative comments, this one too and get the forum going where it needs to be. Technical, not emotional.
This is just sad.
