A good basic multimeter
-=Rudy=-✓ Verified Purchase•July 23, 2023
Having used older multimeters for years, I am still getting used to an auto-ranging meter. The display is otherwise easy to read and interpret, and is nicely backlit. I could do without the beep, though; if there is a way to disable it, I have not yet found it. I removed the silly strap with the magnetic catch on the end, as it was attaching itself to anything metallic it found within range. (When working on or near audio or video components, the last thing you want is a stray magnet latching to and scratching the case of what you're working on.)
The provided leads were not so useful though--they are built much nicer (and are more sturdy) than the extras I purchased from another manufacturer, but many of us need leads that clamp onto a wire in various ways, vs. leads that are used only for touching to test points. I would rather have paid $10 more for this same meter had an additional set of high quality clip-on leads been included, or paid less to not have any leads at all and let us choose what we want.
But for the basic meter, no complaints--it does its job accurately, it's compact, and reliable. And it's all wrapped up at a good price. Buy a good set of additional leads and you're set for just about any type of measurement you need to make.

Great multimeter. If I lost or broke it, I'd definitely buy another one.

I previously owned several multimeters, but they weren't autoranging, and lacked some other features that I wanted. So I recently bought two new multimeters...this one and a Triplett 9045, both from Amazon. I've just finished the review of the 9045. I bought two different meters on purpose...because I will be using them side by side set to different modes, and I wanted to be able to tell at a glance which was which...also, if one started acting weird, I'd be able to know which it was! But in hindsight, I sorta wish I'd bought two of these!
I began looking at the BK precison 2907B after seeing it reviewed by Dave Jones of the EEVBlog. I encourage you to search for that video because it does a good job of describing the good and bad of all the reviewed meters.
In my own experience, I've found that the BK Precision 2907B is fast, and accurate, and it's clearly the winner when compared to my other purchase, the Triplett 9045. While both machines will get the job done, the BK is much faster measuring resistance, capacitance, or conductivity. The probes seem like they are a notch above the ones that came with the Triplett (although the triplett does include screw-on alligator clips and the BK doesn't). The magnetic hanger on the BK is a nice touch, though it does tend to flop loose a bit when not in use. The buttons and controls on this unit feel precise and smooth, although it isn't really easy to change the main function dial one-handed...which may be a trivial point, unless you're constantly switching between modes like you might be if you only use one meter.
The only area in which I feel the BK falls short of any of my other meters is in it's physical construction...Specifically, it's the only one of all the meters I have that isn't enclosed in a rubbery jacket, or wrapped with a soft edge around the perimeter. This, of course, is only a problem if it falls off your bench. I'm not saying it's cheaply built, because it's not! But the others all seem to have that extra layer of protection. On the other hand, not being wrapped in rubber makes this meter more compact.

Fast autoranging and continuity testing
MangoMan✓ Verified Purchase•May 29, 2023
I've had this multimeter for over three years and it works very well. The autoranging and continuity test are incredibly fast. The test leads are good quality (but could be a little pointier). The only downside to this meter may be how loud it is. I wish it had a way to disable the loud beep every time you change the dial setting, but if the noise isn't an issue for you it's hard to find anything else to complain about.
Excellent meter but......
J Hess✓ Verified Purchase•May 26, 2023
Excellent meter but...... The injection molding for the meter body is deformed. One of the reasons I bought the meter is for the bench. Well when the stand is in the closed position it won't snap in place (Detent misalignment).
Kind of a rinkydink comment but it bugs me. I did contact customer support with no reply.
But then again as always with BK products the performance is exceptional. I was truly surprised to see this get by QA. Or maybe a management call?

First one I received did not work properly. Continuity ...
BD✓ Verified Purchase•May 22, 2023
First one I received did not work properly. Continuity test didn't beep.That is the only reason for 4 stars. Product was replaced pronto and new one has worked perfectly. 5 stars for quick replacement and how the second one works. Bought it to replace uni-t 64 which stopped working after 18 months of light use.
Fast accurate readings. No bouncing the readings all over the place when you need to know what the exact volts etc. are.
I use it on my cars and computers. So far it has been well worth the money.
