Two quick questions

Are Grizzly multimeters good?

and

How about Weller solder irons?

Thanks,

Bill

Grizzly (never heard of it before) appears to be a re-branded Chinese
item:

Weller and Ungar are the big names in irons.
There are old Curie-point type units
and newer solid state (feedback) controller types
as well as uncontrolled types.
Which have you been checking out?


Not doing anything big I was looking at the Weller WE-WP25.

Still looking for a good multimeter. Fluke's are little out of price
range for the odd job's I will be doing.

I can not buy anything local in my area as the only electronic's store
in my area closed their door for good. I now have to look on the net.

Check out Jameco for miltimeters at reasonable prices.

Thanks to all that replied.

I ended buying a Weller WES51 soldering station.

I will keep a watch on Ebay for multimeters.

Well yesterday I eneded up bidding on and winning a Brand new Fluke 87
III for $215. I thought what the heck it is coming to the Holiday
Season. Why not treat myself.

There were plenty of pictures with the item. Everything looked in mint
condition. Manual, cd-rom, probes, and Calibration form all there.
Btw, when you get a new one, does the manual come shrink wrapped? As
this one does in the pictures.
