An engineering firm I worked for a few years back bought 6, at random, to check for their service engineers.
As I recall, 3 of the 6 were over 10% out and 1 appreciably more than that. The one they chose was not particularly expensive. You, apparently, do not always get what you pay for.john.p.clegg wrote:Why not look at these....I've got one and am happy with it...

A fascinating device John. If you know it is accurate it would make a good checking device!

There are quite clearly re branded Beta but around 1/3 cheaper.
