What is the best Fluke multimeter to buy?

Two the best, updated, all-around multimeters Fluke has to offer are the Fluke 115 Field Technician’s Digital Multimeter and the 117 Electrician’s Multimeter. Both are great workshop tools to have around when working on electronics. One-handed operation, compact meters are the best tools for field service.

Is a Fluke multimeter worth it?

A brand-name multimeter is absolutely worth it. Fluke multimeters are some of the most reliable out there. They respond faster than most cheap DMMs, and most of them have a analog bar-graph that tries to bridge the graph between analog and digital meters, and is better than a pure digital readout.

Is Fluke 85 True RMS?

Fluke 83-III and 85-III Meters feature a 3-3/4-digit, 4000-count display with 43-segment bar graph. Meters feature diode test, continuity beeper, and sleep mode. Model 85-III also measures true-rms AC voltage and current.

When was the Fluke 87V made?

The first Fluke 87V meter was introduced in the late 1980s, and we picked up the latest version to test out on some commercial job sites. First up came a full refurbishment on an old industrial building to ready it for use by a new business.

This is ideal for those working in hazardous environments, such as food production plants where water is a constant factor. Foundries and other hot and dusty environments will also suit this multimeter.

Does the fluke 28ii work in freezing temperatures?

The Fluke 28II can also work in freezing temperatures (down to 5°F / -15°C) – and lower temperatures again for shorter bursts – as well as measure temperature with the included type-K thermocouple. It can naturally handle high humidity, too, and has been drop tested from 10ft (3m).

What is the best alternative to the fluke 28?

Even more rugged is the Fluke 28 II Ex, while the Fluke 87V is the other obvious alternative, though is minus the extra protection and waterproofing.
