I was looking at those. ![]()
Nice to meet another Brymen fan. ![]()
After all, they design their own multimeter chipsets and those are used by several high quality brands.
There are no good options to replace the UT210E with itās 1mA DC resolution, not even anotherUT210E. So Iāll have to settle for one with a 10mA resolution.

@ODaily, can I ask you to check the calibration of my opinion about Mitutoyo calipers? ![]()
I know that only micrometers are good enough for you buy still.
Hell yeah. Honestly not sure why they arenāt more popular
Iād trust Brymen to be more accurate than the UT210E, especially at the lower end
Iām not going to directly disagree with this, but unless youāre doing something totally ridiculous, any decent caliper will be more than sufficient. Iāve used the iGaging personally and exclusively at work and never had any issue with the reading.
Actually
BM257 - UT210E
08.42mA - 0.009A
17.89mA - 0.019A
48.86mA - 0.049A
097.6mA - 0.097A
497.8mA - 0.494A
1.990A - 1.985A
4.996A - 04.97A
Iām impressed, thatās pretty decent. The OP did state that youād need to zero the UT210E before pretty much each reading, and that moving it in the air would cause a change of a few mA
Thatās my brother (Iām the installer brother)
I checked my notes. Itās an xG3v1
Man Iād love to meet Sam Reich, seems like a cool guy. Dropout is great
Absolutely, the calipers donāt matter.
Iāve seen machining Gods who could measure tenths of a thousandths with 2 twigs and a small rock by squinting at them. Iāve seen utter fools user precision tools as a hammer (seriously
)
For a person of low skill, quality matters. For a person of quality, it just takes a little extra focus. Idiots need not apply, as they cannot be helped.
But yeah, I got some skill, and I still want good tools, cause quality x skill makes shit look deceptively cool and easy. ![]()
Guess I was unlucky with the iGaging then. Mine tended to add random errors that sometimes were obvious, sometimes were not, and sometimes were full on seizures.
Eventually my patience ran out. A tool that randomly goes out of spec but is accurate most of the time is a massive time and material waster.
Iād rather use a cheap set of vernier calipers than the particular iGaging ones that I had. Sure, the grinder grit can make it harder to feel things and you have to be careful not to apply too much force.
Mines had to be a particularly bad example.
I set my 3D printer probe Z offset by placing a light behind the nozzle and squinting. And I get way more predictable results than with a sheet of paper. But that machine lacks rigidity in a way unimaginable to most machinists so anything along the lines of a feeler gauge is going to be less reliable.

True, it also depends on what youāre doing. I find that combining quality and skill saves a lot of time and effort. And it also helps improve yields.
They can perform way better than the stated accuracy if you are careful, zero them, and donāt move them or anything ferromagnetic while measuring. And degausing the clamp from time to time can help lot depending on the circumstances. I know that some people have managed to calibrate those to make them less of a compass, edited the eeprom values to get better resolution, added oscilloscope outputs, etcā¦
I still wouldnāt trust them as much as a better instrument, but they are good enough for a lot of things.
Iām looking for a replacement because the plastic is starting to fall apart. And those Brymen ones are good enough for me TBH.
I have a 789 in box seeing daily use, and a 179 in my go bag, but ive been looking at the 101 and 107 for the daypack ā¦
I like the 179, but its big ā¦
The 101 is cheap enough to be an impulse buy TBH. And the 107 isnāt that bad on the price side of things either.
Although the rather average accuracy of 0.5%+3 and lack of true RMS and lack of a uA range makes them better suited for working with the mains than for electronics use.
Iām not the target audience for those models, but they do look nice and from my limited browsing, theyāre close to the competition when it comes to price. And theyāre yellow!
Although thatās neither here not there, it all depends on what youāre doing and what gives you enough measurement confidence to not second guess yourself at work. But I should probably shave the metrology grade gray beard⦠Iām not even that old, but thinking about PPMs and significant digits will make your beard go gray.

Oh look itās an apex flex but instead of getting an incision you get to sell your sou- I mean your biometric data for tracking purposes.

Iām pretty sure that Amazon implemented this at WholeFoods a while backā¦
As if giving your data to Amazon wasnāt uncomfortable enough already⦠I definitely donāt want the CCP to have any scans of any part of my body.
Someone finally got the Xproxmark3
āJust the tip!?
I promiseā
āSorry, its normally harder than thisā
āAxels bigger prick than usualā
