Ratings & Reviews for Fluke 87V Industrial Digital Display Multimeter 10 Amp 1000 -Volt

Reliability, Durability and Longevity

I have to agree that the 87 is "built like a brick" I bought mine in 1998 and have only had to have it serviced one time due to my on negligence. Still spot on accurate today after all these years. I use the infrared attachment as well as the amp clamp. I also have several other Fluke meters and all demonstrate the same high degree of accuracy and reliability.

My "Go To" Meter

I bought this meter around 5 years ago and it's still going strong. It is used to verify test setups on medical electronics so yearly calibration is required and we have never had an issue, always in calibration and has never required adjustment. Pretty good for a meter that is used everyday and gets knocked around a bit.

Great Multimeter for VFD output measurements

For voltage and frequency measurements, this meter is fairly accurate. The filter reading option gives the voltage as non-RMS which acts like an analog meter to compliment the complex waveform RMS voltage reading. Frequency measurements where spot on when confirmed with Fluke Scope Meter.

Fluke 87-V A Great Instrument

As an electronics engineer, I know the importance of good, reliable, and accurate test tools. That is why when it came to my home and personal use, I chose the Fluke 87-V . At an affordable price, it offers the precision and reliability I came to expect from the Fluke instruments that I use at work.

Great DVMs

Fluke makes reliable, durable, and dependable DVMs. I still use my Fluke 23 DVM after more than 25 years but purchased the 87V to get: - Back light, for easier to see measurements in a poor lighting conditions. - Larger display digits - Relative measurements: to compare measurements (parts) or cancel out test lead contributions. - Built-in capacitance and temperature reading ability. - Higher diode test voltage - Configurable 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 digit display - Low current measurements (uA) ...

Gold Standard for DMM's

I own the 115 and this 87-V and they are both high quality, well-built meters. The 115 is good but the build quality of this meter is unsurpassed IMO. The display contrast of the LCD panel is much better on this meter, which makes it noticeably easier to read. The back lighting is more even as well in the 87-V, and has two brightness levels. Continuity readings for up to the most ohms of any multimeter I've seen. So many nice features like nano-siemens, 1,000 VDC & VAC, max/min for sine wave dia...

The best multimeter out there

I bought this few years ago just to use for my hobby modifying cars. It had been a wonderful multimeter for me. I used to have an older version of Fluke back in Asia that I had for 20 years, and looks like this 87V is even more robust! It's so user friendly, all the button and knob are logically mark, the display is easy to read, all you ever one in a digital multimeter. The price is high but you got what you pay.

A lot to like

I bought my Fluke 87V as a backup for those situations where I needed to use two meters at the same time. It has quickly become my primary troubleshooting tool. I like it's accuracy, solid feel and intuitive controls. The only place for improvement is on the leads. They're perfectly functional, but compared with the "same" leads that shipped 3 years ago with my Fluke 289. They're clearly inferior. The silicone insulation is more rigid and there is excessive flashing at the over-molds a...

Reliable meter industrial maint. can grow into

Fluke 87 is nice meter for beginners as well as expert electricans! Has more functions than most electrical troubleshoots would need or regualar basis. Reliable functions with large screen and back light. Meter hanging devices can be attached easily to case.

I can always trust Fluke.

I bought this a couple of years ago and I am glad I did. The quality and durability make it a pleasure to work with. The big thing I like about Fluke is that when I take a reading I don't have to wonder if it is right or not. Their meters have always been trustworthy. And if you drop it , it won't die. Great value!

User friendly and built to last!

I work in the mechanical trades. I'm also getting into working on automobiles and household electronics. The 87-5 is more multi meter than I'll ever need. But after a recommendation from one of my instructors and countless reviews online I know I've made the right choice. Accuracy is on point and fit and finish are amazing! Looking forward to getting more acquainted with my new Fluke.

Great Meter

I purchased this multimeter for our new lab. We use a metal pegboard to store our tools and the magnetic mount strap came in handy for hanging up the meter in its case. I'm very pleased with the performance and quality of the meter. I like the flexibility of being able to change the probe tips between alligator and standard probes.

#1 Meeter

I purchased the Fluke 87V about a year ago and it has never let me down. I work with a lot of technicians and my Fluke out preforms so of the other name brand units that are just to slow for I like to see. Others have Snap on and Mac branded units that they paid more for and still have issues with Hertz and the rate of change is way to slow when checking just basic voltage. I also own an 87 version one, that still works, it was clicking for a little, that's the reason why I got the new versio...

Old Faithful

I work in the electric utility sector and we issue these meters to our relay test crews. Every tester/technician carries two Fluke DMM's (87 and 289) and every person prefers their Fluke 87. These meters are simple to use, reliable, and respond quickly (we flash DC circuits to prove electrical paths). I ordered several new meters this year as replacements for our vintage 87's and will be ordering more as we replace older meters. It would be difficult to find a better alternative for this met...

The goto handheld for troubleshooting wiring

Initially started using these in the military while working Avionics on Fixed and Rotary wing aircraft. Fell in love with them back then and have continued to use to this day. Currently these are used by our service personnel and engineers in the lab. This is a good meter to own and put in the tool box. I continue to use mine at home along with a newer one at work. I am happy with both.

FLUKE Meters are the best.

I have been in the industry for thirty years and I have always used FLUKE peoducts and I just purchased a FLUKE 87V. It has all the features a DVM should have and the quality is the best. I am very satisfied with my purchase. There is a reason everyone I know considers FLUKE meters to be the best.

Still the One

The Fluke 87V meter is solid all around. I've been 30 yrs. in Production Maintenance and International Service. Fluke meters have always been in my tool box, tool kit and tool bag. Reliable and accurate readings made troubleshooting down equipment quicker and easier to get to the root cause of failure.

Great value

I have been using a Fluke 87 III for almost 5 years. The person that had it before me retired just before I started. I have only had to change the battery once or twice. This meter is built tough, I have dropped it a few times and it keeps working great. I use the meter on 480VAC and under and 24VDC. If they can handle my abuse, I think they could handle almost anything.

Great extra functions

I wanted a meter that hertz measurement which this satisfied but it also stands up to a lot of industrial wear and tear. The lighted screen is great when inside control panels. Always feel confident and safe when verifying AC or DC voltages/amperage in various applications. I have used this meter inside, outside, rain, and snow. Great meter!

Great Industrial Multimeter

I love the accurses of this meter and the rugged construction of this meter, it is one of the bets meters on the market with all the features most maintenance employee need. to tackle your troubleshooting jobs.
