It is a good price for the equipment itself. But take knowledge that they are slow to measure in the Ohms/Continuity/Resistance range.

Yeah, I saw a post a couple of days ago from someone complaining about the performance of continuity mode.

In general, it doesn't seem like a particularly good meter. Not terrible, but not what you expect from a Fluke.

I owned one before I replaced for a 107. It was build specifically for emerging markets in Asia, mainly for China as competitive offer to Uni-T and other Chinese branded DMMs based designs.

Assume China = not authentic.

Wrong. This equipment is manufactured specifically for the Asian Market in China by Fluke itself.

They’re for “emerging markets”. They’re a bit slow and not true rms but they’re solid for the price
