I have a feeling that there's something not right with some of the numbers in your accuracy calculation spreadsheet (I assume you made a spreadsheet). For instance, at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE0DHD0vmR8&t=697">11:37</a>, your DC volts spreadsheet, in the 100mV range, the measurement is 100.01mV (your measurement at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE0DHD0vmR8&t=500">8:20</a> shows 100.04mV, so that's also an error). If at 100.0120mV, the specified error is 0,025% (of reading) +5digits, that's 100.0120mV*0.00025=0.025003mV (within resolution this is 0.03mV)+5digits=0.08mV. So low bound is 100.01mV-0.08mV=99.93mV and high bound is 100.01mV+0.08mV=100.09mV Am I correct? Obviously I'm not gonna check all your values in all your video's, but this might be something for you to check, to see if your spreadsheet is correct.

I'm really quite happy that you ultimately decided to review this meter despite not being third party safety tested. And better yet, that you'll be keeping it! For quite a long time I've been undecided on what I'll upgrade my generic $30 meter from Amazon with. I value your reviews and seeing the Hioki get your stamp of approval has really swayed me in this direction. I will say though that the included leads look a little disappointing. Hioki has a newer set of leads called the L9300 which comes included with their newer DT4261 meter. They appear to be much better leads in that they look more flexible and have attached sliding guards. It would be nice if Hioki included these leads with the DT4282 as well. If you're curious, you can see these leads in action in a Youtube video titled "[ENG SUB]How to Use HIOKI DT4261 TRMS Digital Multimeter- A Tutorial & Review (Part 3/3)" starting at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE0DHD0vmR8&t=414">6:54</a>. Thanks for the review! It was enjoyable to watch and  listen to your thoughts on the meter.

Hi Tom! I'm glade you've finally agreed to buy hioki one. I've risked my self too about a year ago and bought this one and absolutely love it! Thanks for your reviews!

I've been using the DT4282 since 2018, and it has worked perfectly up until now. In my experience, it's the best DMM I've ever had.

Very good review. Thanks for not flying through the measurement results like other hosts, also the tables at the end of the tests come in real handy... ...

I own a Sanwa PC7000 for my personal use, and I've been considering saving for a new meter for work use. Though the Hioki lacks a couple of the features, it looks like an overall really good meter, and I'm considering buying one since I've been looking for one with UK distributors. This review has been very helpful. Straight to the point and provides good comparisons. You deserve way more subscribers for this quality of content.

Sir, your explanations are easy to follow. I love them! Please do some hobby circuits or electronics projects. My 18yo daughter is high functioning autistic (Formerly know as Asperger’s) and has shown an interest in electronics. I feel she would welcome instruction from you and this format. It’s not easy being a society outsider but she handles it as good as anyone. Electronics might be a confidence builder for her. Cheers, Kd5eag

Thanks for the comprehensive test. Hopefully Hioki will update their 60000 count meters soon to support Bluetooth like their 6000 count DT4261.
