Review on 📈 Extech 407860 Heavy Vibration Meter: Reliable Measurement for Heavy Vibrations by Jimmy Hargrove

This is an amazing meter, especially for the price. It works great, although my computer (windows 7) had to fiddle around a bit to find it. The program works flawlessly and is easy to use. Of course, it doesn't have a very pleasant interface, but engineers don't usually care much about it. We care more about data accuracy and precision and the fact that this device is calibrated is really great. Most inexpensive vibration analyzers that you can buy have only one axis. This has 3 axes. That's a huge difference. Another benefit I think is that the software is really good at calculating the vector sum. The unit is well built and clearly intended for use in the field. The battery compartment is probably intentionally vibration-resistant and therefore difficult to open, because if the battery rattles around inside the device, it writes incorrect data. This is a well designed device and deserves a much higher rating than what has been received so far.
