Multimeters and test equipment.

G'day, all. I have spent many hours trying to get details on test equipment that is accurate and affordable. I have came up with this gem;
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New...502#vi-content. This is for gauge cluster testing and reconditioning, hopefully.

I have two doubts about it. 1) It comes without leads, case etc. (there is one from Hong Kong withall the goodies, but 1-2 months delivery.
2) I have never bought anything from Amazon.

I have tried to source equipment from the local electronics store (Jaycar outlet), because I like to shop locally, but they have less able equipment at way higher prices.

If anyone knows of viable alternatives, your input is welcome. Thank you. mudnut.

It does seem to be a very clever meter, especially for that price, I don't believe you will get anything locally for any ware near $200.
I understand your hesitation buying it from ebay as this type of seller can be difficult to deal with when you receive a faulty unit and I would not believe the unit is in Brisbane as the add states.
I have a Fluke 287 Multimeter myself, that cost about $650 and does not have an oscilloscope.

Amazons are excellent to deal with. Some items they won't post to Australia.

Yeah I would not hesitate to buy from Amazon. Too easy.

This one in the Jaycar catalogue http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView...UBCATID=1062#1 looks like a pretty good unit, but does not measure micro amps.

And this one looks like a sturdier unit, but then again is something goes wrong, that's a lot of cash down the drain

3kg regular post parcels are $14.50 approx. and a bit more for 3kg express post.
5kg express post cost around $20

Of the three this one from China looks the best as far as specs go. It has a real CRO probe output for a start. The USB output should enable you to view the screen on a monitor or a laptop, which is a great help when looking at complex waveforms or pulses. Ask if the software is included.

I agree.
I haven't had anything to do with that range of Uni-T gear but their DMM's are OK.
There is any amount of the UT1025's for sale out of the U.S. if the OP doesn't want to deal with China as well.

Never tried these brands. If it is Chinese and on eBay, chances are you can get it cheaper.

$142 isn't too much of a gamble. Shipping time would be the downside.

Thanks for your opinions, blokes. The uni-t unit does look tempting, so I will keep searching.
