Customer Reviews

I originally bought this model based on the recommendation in the July 2005 issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine, listed as a "dependable tester."
I've had difficulty with multimeters in the past, but never with a Fluke brand multimeter. I've droped Flukes down ladders, on concrete, and they still work like a champ. They work so well and are so trusted, it's the only brand of test equipment that the U.S. military does NOT require to have regular calibrations (though Fluke does recommend an annual calibration.)
Pros:
- The best feature (for me) is that the test lead can be plugged into the back of the unit and used like a big handle. This means that you can hold the Fluke in one hand with the hot lead sticking out the "jaw" end while your other hand holds the other lead in place. No more trying to find a place for the meter to sit.
- "Slim Reach" probe tips (4mm) are flattened to allow tips to be easily inserted into outlets. Still round, but have flat sides to them. Tips are replaceable.
- Leads stow in the back of the meter.
- Audible continuity beeper is plenty loud. I've been able to hear it over engine noise.
- The "automatic" and "auto-select" features are quick. Simply select volts, stick your probes, and you have a reading within a couple seconds.
- Dust and water "resistant." (I wouldn't go swimming with it or anything.)
- Has a "low battery" indicator.
- 2-year warranty. Save that receipt!
Cons:
- Pricey, when compared to other brands. But, I feel the quality speaks for itself here.
- Made in China (for those of you that want to know.)
Specifications:
Precise digital resolution to 0.1 amp, 1 ohm, and 1 volt (AC/DC.)
Uses two AA zinc chloride or alkaline batteries
Current sensor opening "jaw" = 12.9 mm
"Can stay connected much longer than solenoid type tester"
I HIGHLY recommend this multimeter for the professional as well as the do-it-yourselfer.

This tester is great. Enough to do many jobs in your houses.
The automatic selector of voltage is one advantage to non professional people.
The open clamp is great but if you want to measure more than 100 amps you'll have to buy another one ( see Fluke 322 )
You must be carefull with the teast leads, they are really sharp.I really recommend to buy with the T5, the starter kit.
