FLUKE United States

When it comes to handheld multimeters, Fluke is the default industry standard. Even though the product is expensive, with its industry-proven reliability, Fluke multimeters are not less popular. For example, the industrial-grade multimeter Fluke 289C, although the price is as high as 600 US dollars, still appears in the sales list of the United States and Asia all year round. At present, Fluke's multimeters have entered the market of more than 100 countries, and maintain a high reputation in each country. From the early classic first-generation handheld multimeters 8020 and 8060 to the current flagship 87V and 289C, Fluke has maintained first-class accuracy and reliability for several generations of handheld multimeters, and it can be said that it is Fluke that has made users realize the potential of handheld multimeters. After decades of operation, Fluke is now unshakable in the field of handheld multimeters, and has won almost all the top spots in North American review websites such as bestreviews and Toolnerds. The durability of Fluke multimeters is legendary, and some 8060s produced at the end of the last century are still highly accurate today, twenty years later. In contemporary times, Fluke is 80, 170、...

Keysight Keysight United States

Compared to Keysight, HP or Agilent are more famous. Currently, HP is one of the world's largest producers of computers and printers. However, few people know that in the seventies and eighties of the last century, HP was also the largest manufacturer of instruments and instruments in the United States. With the advent of the golden age of IT, HP gradually focused on the computer and imaging industry, and at the end of the last century, it cut off the huge business, including instrumentation, and established Agilent. In 2014, Agilent was split in two, and the electronics and technology sector became what it is today. In the handheld multimeter industry, Keysight or Agilent are among the few brands that can be compared to Fluke. If Fluke's product positioning is comprehensive and covers more levels, then Keysight is a brand for professional users. Although there is no lifetime warranty, Keysight is as good as Fluke in terms of accuracy and reliability. Keysight's products are expensive, and the basic 1230 series is priced at more than 1,000 yuan. The high-precision, high-count 1240/1250/1270 series is priced between 2800~5000 yuan. In several series,...

Gossen Metrawatt Germany

Among the top brands of multimeters, Gossen's popularity is relatively low, not because Gossen's product power is insufficient, but because Goseen's products are highly positioned and their popularity is relatively average. High-precision products have always been Gossen's forte, to take an extreme example: the discontinued Gossen 30M has a six-and-a-half-digit 1.2 million maximum count and 0.003% accuracy, which is on par with some professional desktop multimeters, and even the 30M successor, the M248, has a maximum count of 310,000. In this regard, Fluke and Keysight are also slightly behind. Gossen is one of the best brands for users who require high precision, but it has few price-performance options. Gossen Metrawatt's two predecessors, Gossen and Metrawatt, were both founded in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, and as early as 1926, Gossen began to produce multifunctional measuring instruments and was known for their high precision and quality. Today, Gossen is one of the leaders in test and measurement instruments. Since the functions of high-end multimeters are quite comprehensive, in terms of products, Gossen and Keysight are not much different. At present, Gossen mainly has two series, AM and PM, both of which are high-precision products. Even if the AM series is positioned a little lower...

HIOKI HIOKI Japan

Founded in 1935, Hioki is one of Japan's top manufacturers of electronic measuring equipment and produced military measuring equipment for the U.S. Air Force in the 50s. In the field of electrical measuring instruments such as oscilloscopes and multimeters, Hiki has a good strength, and many of its products have a good reputation. For example, Hioki's oscilloscope current probes have always been the top in the industry, and in the category of handheld multimeters, Hioki is also the best in Japan. Although it is also aimed at the high-end market, there are slight differences between the Japanese and the previous top manufacturers. In addition to high-precision meters, it also has some portable multimeter products. Card multimeters are the most portable multimeters and are usually less than 1 cm thick. The pen of this type of meter is directly attached to the body, unlike traditional multimeters that have a separate pen, so it is easier to take care of and suitable for carrying around when you go out. However, in order to achieve portability, the card multimeter also comes at a cost in terms of performance, especially the lack of current measurement function. The 3244 and 3245 of the Japanese are very standard card multimeters, and the current price is 300~500 yuan. The two multimeters are three and a half digits, 3999 indicators, and the long...

Sanwa Japan

Sanwa is another well-known instrument manufacturer in Japan, at the beginning of its establishment in 1941, Sanwa was mainly engaged in the production of circuit instruments for equipment maintenance, and its products are currently sold in more than 70 countries around the world. The multimeter is the core product of Sanhe, but unlike many manufacturers, Sanhe is more accomplished in the analog multimeter. Sanhe is currently one of the strongest pointer multimeter manufacturers, the analog meter, also known as the analog meter, which relies on the deflection of the pointer on the dial to read the reading. This kind of multimeter has a lot of defects, one is that the input impedance of the pointer meter is not high, so it will interfere with the circuit when measuring the circuit, and it is far less accurate than the digital meter, and the reading of the dial by eye will also produce errors, so the popularity of the pointer meter is not high now. However, when it comes to measuring variable circuits, the readings of the analogue meter are very intuitive, and the bar reading function of many high-end multimeters mimics this feature. In addition to Sanhe, Simpson in the United States and Shanghai Sibiao in China are all strong analog multimeter brands. With experience in pointer meters, Sanhe also performs very poorly on digital multimeters.

UNI-T. Unilead Hong Kong

Unilead is one of the largest instrument manufacturers in Asia, and its products are sold in more than 90 countries around the world. Even in North America, Unilead is a well-known manufacturer of multimeters. In the domestic market, the three major manufacturers of Unilead, Huayi and Shengli occupy the vast majority of the market share. The strength of several domestic brands is not far apart, but the product line of Unilead is more complete, and the mid-to-high-end instrument products are slightly stronger. Compared with top foreign brands, Chinese brands such as Unilead have a common problem: durability and safety are slightly insufficient. Although it is almost the same as foreign brands in terms of parameters and functions, domestic manufacturers still do not pay enough attention to safety protection, and the products are not as solid as brands such as Roder and Fluke. In terms of product construction, the manufacturing process of domestic multimeters is slightly poor, and the workmanship of internal circuits and components are not high enough, so the durability is slightly poor and the performance is not stable enough. Of course, compared to the expensive top foreign brands, the price of domestic multimeters is also much lower. Unilead has a wide range of products, from portable card multimeters to high-precision meters. But the most of...

Victor wins Taiwan

Shengli is one of the most important instrument manufacturers in China, founded in the 80s of the last century. Multimeters, clamp meters, and thermometers are the most important products of Shengli. In the domestic multimeter market, the popularity of Shengli and Unilead is the highest. In terms of product positioning, Shengli focuses on cost performance, and its products include basic instruments VC890 and VC9800 series, VC97 with automatic range and VC187/189A with high-end instruments. In terms of entry-level products, there is almost no gap between domestic manufacturers, and the difference between manual range instruments of about 100 yuan is very limited. In contrast, the most noteworthy of the victory is the mid-range price-performance options VC97 and VC86E. VC97 is an autoranging, true RMS multimeter, with 3999 counts, 0.5% basic accuracy, and the price is less than 200 yuan. The VC86E, which is positioned slightly higher, has better accuracy, with a maximum count of 21999 in four and a half digits and a base accuracy of 0.05%. The price of the product is 300~400 yuan. The VC86E positioning is very similar to Unilead's UT61, and the accuracy is slightly higher than that of the UT61E, with the function of maximum value recording and bar reading. However, VC86E is not a true RMS value, and it is inevitable that the reading will be inaccurate when measuring square wave circuits. ...

MASTECH Huayi Guangdong

Founded in 1987, Mastech Huayi is one of the three major multimeter manufacturers in China. Due to its early entry into foreign markets, Mastech multimeters are very common cost-effective products in the North American market. As the main drafting unit of the national standard of the electrical instrumentation industry, Huayi has a good strength in multimeters. In terms of products, Huayi has many entry-level products, such as MY series and MS826X series, which are mostly 1999 counting and manual range products. The MS8268 of automatic range is a good product in the series, with a maximum count of 3999, and the positioning is similar to that of VC97, but it is not a true RMS measurement, and the price is about 150 yuan. In terms of mid-to-high-end products, Huayi's MS8218 has a good reputation, and its positioning is comparable to Unilead UT71E and Shengli VC189A. This multimeter has a count of 50,000 and an accuracy of 0.03%, both of which are industry-leading in terms of two main parameters. In terms of functions, it is also relatively comprehensive, except for no temperature measurement, it basically includes all mainstream measurement gears, and can be connected to a PC to read data. The price of MS8218 is about 1000 yuan, which is slightly lower than similar products of Shengli and Unilead. ...

Sata United States

Founded in 1992, Skadden is a tool manufacturer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American tool brand APEX in China, mainly targeting the domestic high-end tool market. Stardden's main business is hand tools such as wrenches and pliers, and electronic test instruments are not its best field. But even so, Skadden has launched a relatively comprehensive multimeter product line, which is another choice in addition to the three major domestic manufacturers. In terms of product positioning, all of Starden's multimeters are autoranging and have good workmanship. The warranty period is 2 years, and most other domestic brands are 1 year, but the price of STA multimeters is slightly higher than that of traditional domestic brands such as Unilead. In terms of products, the small handheld multimeter 03005 and 03007 have a complete range of gears, with a maximum count of 3999. In addition to the lack of temperature measurement, it basically covers the mainstream demand, 03007 has more frequency levels than 03005, and the price of both is about 200 yuan. The same 3999 count, the accuracy of 0.5% of the conventional multimeter 03015, 03017 price is 300 ~ 400 yuan. Although it does not specialize in this, Skadden still launched two high-end multimeters, the 03075 and 03079. These two multimeters are all...

Pro'sKit 宝工 Taiwan

Like Star, Baogong is also a tool brand, but Baogong is not as biased as Star. Oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and pointer multimeters have always been an important part of Baogong's product line, and Baogong's popularity in the domestic testing instrument market is not low. In the field of multimeters, Baogong focuses on the entry level. If you don't need too much precision and only require basic measurement functions, Baogong is one of the options. The auto-ranged, true RMS MT-1217-C is positioned relatively high in the Baogong product line, very similar to the mid-range product VC97 of Victory Classic, and the MT-1217-C is slightly higher than the VC97 in count, reaching 5999. The price of the two is also relatively close, VC97 is priced at about 170 yuan, while MT-1217-C is priced at about 180 yuan. In addition, Baogong's MT-1280-C and MT-1706-C are also true effective value multimeters, but they are manual ranges, and the price is about 120 yuan. The other models are less functional than others, but the prices are very attractive. For example, the price of the portable multimeter MT-1508 is only about 80 yuan, which can measure the basic voltage, current, resistance, and on/off. If you don't need too fine work...

STANLEY United States

In the field of hand tools, Stanley, which has a history of more than 170 years, is definitely world-class. In categories such as tape measures, Stanley has a very long history, but when it comes to multimeters, Stanley is only a newcomer. At present, Stanley only has two multi-form products, MM201 and MM101, which are only available in China. The advantage of both multimeters is that the workmanship is good, but there is only a 1999 count and a basic accuracy of 0.5%. Taken together, the two multimeters are more like the products of Stanley's layout of the product line. So, if you need to buy a kit, Stanley might be a good choice. The manual range MM201 costs about 80 yuan, as an entry-level multimeter, the biggest disadvantage of MM201 is that there is no beep gear. Considering the frequency of on-off measurements in the electrical and electronic field, the absence of this function of the MM201 is regrettable. The MM101 positioning is higher, which is the autoranging and true RMS. The functions are also relatively comprehensive, and the relative value measurement and maximum value recording are very useful functions. The price of MM101 is about 300 yuan, which is more satisfactory than MM201 this multimeter. ...
