BM251 Review
.
I couldn’t find them but I found the BM257.

Written review

Video review , The quality of the review by the reviewer?

.
It’s a top quality multimeter. :slight_smile:
.

BM250 series on the right, further down the page
.

I’ve only found the BM257 for sale in a few places in Europe, it’s made in Taiwan.
.
Tme.eu approx £95 … $135 including delivery to ?

Ebay Italy approx £92 … $131 including delivery to Europe

A real shock was the high one from another authorised seller in Germany £210 … $298 I didn’t ask about delivery. :open_mouth: :Sp
.

Brymen multimeter’s are manufactured in Taiwan, would anyone know if they can be purchased from a country in the region - China?
.
I haven’t been on here long enough to know anyone who could arrange a purchase and the shipping, I know Freeme managed the group buy of the the UNI-T Clamp Meter but wasn’t sure if there’s anyone I should ask if they’re interested?
.

Thanks
Andrew

Frankie Tong is a well-respected member on the EEVBlog forum.
He is/(was?) the go-to-guy for Brymen meters.

This is his ebay store:

He does not list the models you mentioned, but he may be able to source it anyway.

Brymens are good meters, but if you do not work on high-energy circuits a good UNI-T model will be cheaper and have greater functionality.

I do have a Brymen among others, but usually reach for a cheap UT61E. It has one extra digit which is useful sometimes. Cons on the 61E are no back-light, no auto power off, no thermocouple input, needs 9V battery (most new meters are on AA/AAAs now). The test leads that come with the UNI-Ts are also not great, I use Brymen silicone-insulated test leads which are available separately.

Hello Del

I saw the UNI-T meter review on youtube too, it may have been the UT61E.

I'll have another view, It was mentioned as the first one to buy then the Brymen.

It's easy to get carried away, I haven't heard of them before. I'm not wanting it for anything too intensive. The UNI-T UT61E does everything I need, I'm always thinking that more money buys better quality.

Thanks very much Del for telling me about Frankie, that's a massive help as I was struggling to find anyone. Lol

I'll see if I can make contact and ask what he can do. ☺

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the inquiry. I do have the BM257S in my eBay store but it's currently out of stock: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brymen-BM257s-Digital-Multimeter-6000-count-Brand-New-Fluke-alternative-/200922627340

I'm expecting a shipment from Brymen in the first week of February so you should see it becoming available in less than 2 weeks. Shipping cost is already included in the product pricing, except that there's a $2.4 fee for the tracking number which is mandatory for this item due to its value.

Cheers,
Franky

$137.4 = £103.05

I did much research when I was on the hunt for my first multi meter. I chose the Brymen 257 from Franky and it has served me vey well for several years. An excellent choice.
PS: Franky’s store also has a great selection of thick gauge wires, probes and copper alligator clips.

That's good to know.

Different model's from Brymen, I started to look at the other one's but it's pointless really as the 257 does everything I want and more.
