Multimeter forums?

[MikeinDestin]

Hello. I've been looking for a multimeter forum (s) with no luck. If such a thing exists please let me know. Always enjoy reading and learning about the different features and brands of meters. Thanks for any advice!

Pretty sure you've landed on it. UXWBill on YouTube has many multimeter review videos on his channel

Dave Jones who runs the EEVBlog website and YouTube channel has done tons of videos about multimeters. He tests them, examines their features, and does tear downs. Yes, Dave wants you to buy his private label branded Brymen meters, but his reviews seem pretty fair.

Joe Smith also does meter reviews, sometimes to the point of destruction. He has a huge list of tests that he puts meters through including pulsing them with high voltage.

I have various hobbies including electronics. Here you will mostly find benchmarking of various handheld multi-meters. I am not affiliated with any company distributing or manufacturing meters. For the most part, meters are purchased out of pocket. I run these test purely out of my own...

Are there any discussion forums? I've seen some, but they all seem from ten years ago.

Are there any discussion forums?

There's a test equipment forum on EEVBlog. Those guys get pretty deep into the weeds. Test Equipment - Page 1

There's a guy in that forum who has been maintaining a multi-meter feature spreadsheet. Multimeter spreadsheet (80 manufacturers and over 400 meters listed) - Page 1
