Pros & Cons
Pros
The box includes 2 needle leads with screw-on posts which can be used to make contact in a round electrical plug. The probes are nice, but i find the screw on the banana plug adapters a bit unreliable.
This meter is beyond accurate and i found it easy and intuitive to use. The only thing missing in my opinion is duty cycle measurement.
Eevblog is a website and forum run by dave jones, an australian electronics engineer. Dave also participates in a weekly podcast called the amp hour. Manual is available online so nbd. Youtube has answers to all your questions. Search under google.
Bm235 is perfect for a bench with limited space and feels great in your hand. First is the lcd viewing angle. Also has backlight for people who need to work in dimly lit areas.
All the features, from millivolts to resistance to auto-range to capacitance are all there. Even closer than average for capacitance. Voltage on the other hand works quickly and is very accurate even in ua and ma modes.
Cons
It is past its 12 months warranty. All other measurements are non-functional.
Highlights
Quality
It is very accurate and built very sturdy
The test leads are super nice and extremely well designed so i purchased an extra set for future use
My fluke had become really tired with a black mist in the lcd cats chewed the probe leads and all scratched and beat up
I considered many other brands after doing research and it was difficult to find one that i would be happy with unit has severa... Read More
Price
This is a great meter at a good price
Best meter in this price range for sure
Both of those meters are around 200
I realize the instruction manual is on line but it certainly couldnt cost much to include a summary of its functions
Shipping
I contacted them and found out a shipment was soon on the way to amazon so i jumped on it
Packaging/appearance
Im perfectly fine with saving trees and easyopen packaging so this is all great
The box includes 2 needle leads with screwon posts which can be used for instance for making contact in a round electrical plug
Just unboxed it and hope the quotes convey my impressions
My other small issue is that it came in a plain white box with absolutely no printed material or identifying markings
Competitiveness
An excellent quality product that can be a competitive competitor for the fluke brand
Has all options needed that are available for hundreds more for a similar specd meter
This is not a match to a fluke 115 but rather this is the combination of the fluke 116 and fluke 117
Compare prices with this and other quality dmms and youll find that this is a crazy value

I wanted a fluke 34electronics34 meter and wanted one that uses aaaaa batteries cause i despise 9 volt batteries it had to have a very responsive continuity tester but soon found out that finding the right multimeter wasnt going to be easy i would need to spend upwards of 250 to get one that met my simple requirements or settle for a basic chinese fluke with no warranty

I know this review is not about fluke but i feel they really need to manufacturer a model for hobbyists that doesnt cost nearly 300 or more
