Didn’t somebody once claim that a BK meter was simply a rebadged condar meter? That appears to be false.

Perhaps all of the extra tick marks and arc lines on the bk meter are to be ignored. Maybe they’re just decorations.
I suspect they all come out of China, the difference being in the tolerance spec, range, logo, etc. set by the company purchasing them.

Look familiar?

I didn't claim that to be, I posited the possibility.
