Like many on this forum, we accumulate measuring devices over the years, always claiming that the last one brings a plus !
There is a time when you turn on your appliances just to maintain the capacitors, it's time to make room (for the satisfaction of wife as well). 😉
So I intend to swap two or three units to only one bench multimeter. Criteria is precision, 4 wires and visible display (with age !)
HDM3065B seems attractive but I don't know Hantek brand...
Any advices ?
Thanks.

Hantek are mid range and competitively priced. They tend to have many goodies that are never used by the average tech. Their warranty can be sketchy, depending upon where and how you purchased it. https://hantek.com/products/detail/16176
I would go for a Fluke. 8808A https://www.fluke.com/en-us/product/precision-measurement/bench-instruments/fluke-8808a
With a Fluke the warranty and they are very accurate indeed.
However, they are not good when one has a job and the test leads won't reach!

Fluke tend to be expensive, may be overkill for usual house / personal maintenance work.
There may be available in surplus meters from other reputed makers. Sometimes forcibly sold by military as outdated.
Clamp meter is handy at times.
There are available mains analysers, meaning 96 x 96 multi display meter, V / A / Hz, quite cheap, large displays...worth checking out, and suitable for bench mounting in a small housing.

I have one of these: https://meters.uni-trend.com/product/ut612/
and one of these: https://meters.uni-trend.com/product/ut161-series/
Uni-T does good work at a fair price. However, I'd snap them up right quick before Maximum Leader Genius's tariffs take hold on new inventory.

OP is in France, well away from random tariff and policy fluctuations, I hope.
He wants a bench unit with a big display.

A very good, if expensive choice. But it's one of those "buy quality, buy once" deals.
I've never regretted buying a Fluke product and that cannot be said for cheaper products, particularly DMMs. The thing about a Fluke is you can bet your life on it. (I sound like a shill) 🙂
As I live in BOC (burocracy over citizen ) zone, prices also get high especially when money is already spent any way before workers earn it ! Imagine (John Lenon) people can live in peace in united state of Eurasia (Muse) 🎹
I have Fluke, HP and others. I'm very satisified usually with theses products. It's silly but for privates, calibrating services cost to much now. So for me better to buy new products from time to time. But I make exception like this frequency meter with trigger 😉
One of multimeters I want to replace :
