Fluke Test Meter Kit

Fieldsense is not quite ready for primetime yet!

I ordered this new technology skeptically shortly after product announcement. And it's about what I expected, and have heard from others while waiting for it to arrive. The FieldSense for voltage is pretty unreliable without a connection from the black lead to a good ground. Using the only the backside ground button/pad, I've gotten readings anywhere from 0 volts to 347 volts (how coincidental is that??) from a single 120v conductor while standing on concrete in regular work boots. I can't ev...

Ohms resolution is poor

Was really happy when purchased as always wanted one, as soon as I used ohms to work out earth impedance I noticed it is either 1 ohm or 0 when we need to test to see if it's bellow 0.5 , this is a crazy over look and can't use the meter for au/nz installations

Innovative features

I have been hesitant to purchase the T6 due to the many negative reviews and all the users saying to wait for the next generation. As a commercial electrician and a self admitted toolaloholic (addicted to buying new tools) I decided to take the plunge. I must admit so far I have not experienced any of the issues many of the users have complained about. Once I figured how to utilize the "fieldsense" correctly, the readings are accurate. In the beginning I confirmed the results of the T6-10...

Equal to the T5, but lacking.

The T6-1000 works as well as the T5-1000 that I have used for 20 years in all the features and regards that are the same between the two meters. However, the no contact voltage detecting feature is not consistent nor accurate in determining whether a circuit is hot or not. I have always carried a Fluke 2AC in my breast pocket and continue to do so. The Fluke 2AC is not complicated or multi featured. It detects voltage with a red light as an indicator, period. No sound, no other meanings. If yo...

Time Saving, Easy to Use, Protects your life

The product is extremely easy to use and saves time…turn the dial to what you are looking for and use the forks, without a worry about blowing a fuse for a wrong setting. For use as a handy man and technician, it’s easy to get the reading and diagnose an issue, and the safety aspect (not having to expose wires to test) is what makes the T6 highly valuable. The instances that I needed to use the leads, I like that they were securely attached to the back, which made the T6 extremely convenient...

T6-1000 not a good choice

I bought this meter with the intentions of using it in a healthcare environment to make trouble shooting easier and safer. Unfortunately this meter does NOT fit the bill AT ALL. First of all it requires you to touch a ground pad on the meter or use the ground(black lead) to establish a ground reference for the Field Sense to even operate and with the ground pad the voltage readings swing wildly and never settle out. Using the ground lead the reading settle out somewhat but still remain way out o...

Time saver

Had my T6-1000 for about 3 months and it rolls in each and every job with me every day for initial troublshooting. My only complaint is the meter did not come with a connector for the ground and the t-pak magnetic hanger. For what it costs it should be a complete kit that’s the only reason I could not give it 5 stars. Anyone reading this buy the holster for your belt right off the bat, This is definitely a goto meter for volts and amps. Get in and get the diagnostics down right off the bat. I’m ...

Fluke T6-1000

It's great to have a test instrument that can measure voltage & current simultaneously, while not being fearful of an arching situation. Safety is perhaps the greatest advantage of using this tool. My only complaint so far is not understanding why I consistently get different DC voltage readings, depending on the polarity of the test leads. For ex., reading -9v vs +8v on a 9v battery and -29v vs +27v on a DC power supply. Why should the polarity of the test leads matter? I get identical DC ...

Great New Features and Quality

I bought this meter last week I was very exited to try this meter and it’s new features. I’ve always owned a T5-1000 and I’ve always wanted the features available with the meter. The backlight is great, the larger Jaw and ability to read up to 200 amps is a huge advantage and the Field sense option is very handy I’m still testing that and trying to find the most accurate way to take a reading so far I think you get a more accurate reading with the probe to ground over the finger touch pad on the...

excellent device

Like most Fluke products, this device also has excellent performance! I have used it for several days without any problems and I have observed the expected performance, the field sense function is very good to obtain current and voltage readings at the same time quickly the same for the frequency as long as a good ground is guaranteed and the cable is correctly placed between the forks, the measurement is very stable, in general you just have to get used to this new method, the rest of the func...
