Fluke Test Meter and Tools Kit

Lowe's couldn't help prevent fraud

A fraudster ordered two of these online using our company credit card on Thanksgiving. Since the card was linked to the company accounts payable email our ap person immediately saw the purchase confirmation details with all of the employee card holder's information but with a shipping address that was not related to our company or any of our employees or customers. Lowe's customer service was closed on Thanksgiving. By the time we got a hold of someone the next morning Lowe's said they could not...

Outstanding - Scores high points.

Pros: - Fluke 87v rocks.  - Whether you are an HVAC professional, an electrician or a non-casual electronics hobbyist, this is one of the best feature rich multimeters you can get. - Outstanding quality - Super fast response rates (compared it with 3 other non-Fluke MMs) - Highly accurate (even without a NIST certificate) - Like the bar graph which gives it the analog touch when it comes to measuring and viewing non-stable voltages. - Frequency measurement up to 200 kHz - It is indeed a...

The good and bad of the 87V

I recently researched several Fluke brand multi-meters because I need a quality multi-meter. The Fluke brand is the only brand I was considering, its USA made, etc., quality design and parts, warranty and great reputation. I think there are other good meter brands and some of them have features I wish Fluke would consider. I suppose what I really want is a Fluke 87-6. This review is just my opinion of the 87V, as it is currently manufactured. My opinion is only about its features. I have ...

There is No “Better”. The 87V is The Best!

The 87V is the most consistently accurate and phenomenally useful handheld digital multimeter in existence. Nothing new there. I have had occasion to use and compare more than fifteen new 87V’s over the past 4 years and every one was a winner! During that time, I also owned, used and sold about 7 or 8 wannabe’s that closely copied the best features of the 87V at much lower cost. But, all were major disappointments due to shortcomings in design, safety, accuracy, dependability and overall usabili...

Great Meter! Couple gripes..

I'm using this meter for electronics repair and love it! It's very accurate and has a nice loud continuity tone. And the tone isn't annoying either. However, there are a couple small grips I have. Including a safety manual instead of a user manual is not smart at all. Why not include the user manual and leave it up to the user to download the safety manual if they want? I'm honestly baffled by that choice... How do I get a printed manual? The 2nd gripe I have are the test leads. The price you pa...

Great Meter, horrible leads

I purchased 87V + electricians kit yesterday. The meter works great, but the leads are horrible. The leads have a plastic covering up to two millimeters from the edge of the tips preventing the leads from being able to be inserted into plug receptacles! This must be a marketing decision from Fluke, to ensure greater, forced sales of other leads. Any, and all electricians will require different leads, and this decision by Fluke is unacceptable, especially on the 87v which isn't cheap to begin wit...

Reliable

It was my very first time to worked with a Fluke multimeter and I was impressed but what it can do. The amount of time I used for checking every Preventive maintenance was shortened due to the features of the product. It has a vast array of functionality for my job. I can use it for HVAC and another general electrical/electronics application. The low pass filter worked and the peak capture function as well. I like that there are dual resolutions and TRUE RMS waveform measurement. I have not...

just a very good product!!!

I am in the RV Service field and got my first Fluke 87 V in 2005. I just had to replace it a couple of weeks ago and did not hesitate to replace it with the same one. And I will tell you I was not easy on the fist one. I did get a case for this one and will try to take better acre of it. It performed flawless for many years..I did look @ a snap on another tech @ work has but it really did not compare and was close in dollars so Fluke all the way for my. And I could not believe it is exact but ...

FLUKE-87-5 / 87-V does it all.

The FLUKE-87-5 is easy to use, accurate, and versatile. It is heavy enough to stay in place horizontally or vertical using the builtin stand. It is nice being able to do temperature measurements in both C and F with a type K thermocouple instead of a low accuracy thermistor. It defaults to 4 digits, but at the press of a button it becomes a 4 1/2 digit meter.

Buy once, and use always..

87V has the standard Fluke quality. High accuracy and well established reputation as a testing tool. Buy once, and keep it for ever -- hopefully. However, as a small nit, the rear (yellow) plastic flap was a little uneven surface, perhaps a manufacturing issue -- would expect better QC from Fluke. Fluke should package this product better. This is an expensive unit, and it is almost packed like a 25 dollar unit! Buying online from Lowes was a pleasure, and a breeze. Shipping was very quick.
