Watch out for the 8010A's AC range. It's a "true RMS" meter so unless it's from an AC calibration source it won't read the same as an averaging meter i.e cheap DMM or Avo.

The other one is actually a nice little meter. It's made by Soar corporation who were a semi respectable manufacturer in Japan back in the 80s. Similar to GW Instek in modern test gear ranking.
