Fluke Summary

This is a summary of the Fluke multimeters that I reviewed for use in hobby electronics projects primarily related to amateur radio.

This summary was produced to help you decide if fluke multimeter will fit your purpose and budget. This is part of a series of multimeters reviews.
A good multimeter for hobby electronic projects should be able to measure millivolts, volts, microamps, milliamps, amps, ohms, nanofarads and microfarads.
If you want to measure picofarads, nanohenry, microhenry or reactance you will need a LCR meters. I cover the two LCR meters I own in another review.
I am not a professional, I am a hobbyist. This review is not sponsored; I bought the multimeters with my own money. I only used and tested the multimeters in CAT I and CAT II environments. I do not have a way to review or test the safety of this meter. I leave the CAT III and CAT IV environments to trained and licensed professionals. It may seem like I am a Fluke fan boy, but I recognize their flaws along with their advantages. There may be unintended mistakes and/or errors in this summary.

In my experience, Flukes are a good thief detector. Leave one unattended and you'll find out real quick if you can trust your coworkers around your tools.

I decided to buy once, cry once. My Klein multimeter was finally giving out after about 6 years of abuse and exchanging multiple techs. I wanted a meter I can call my own, put my name on and keep everyone away from. I went for the 87v Max with my education discount. I’m so excited to finally have my very own Fluke. I’ve spent a lot of my life around the meters because of my dad, never let him down. Now it’s my turn.

4:28 when you test meters, which were used for long time, you can struggle with poor contact and pins oxidation under the rotor/ switch knob. You can observe that, when you short the leads on the resistance mode, and then touch the rotor switch. If you can change the value only by touch or small movement, or the resistance is stable but higher than usual, then the good way to fix it, is to do a couple of fast strong movements in forward and backward to clean those pins. I fixed in this way my Uni-T UT58C inaccurate measurements. Greetings from Poland.

I picked up a Fluke 110 Plus on an outrageous discount (48.2%) from listing. Basic DMM, but I love it. Finally got a Fluke to join the pack!!

If you wait and hunt, you can find some darn good deals on Fluke. The 110 is a sweet little package for sure.

I'm looking forward to the projects videos! Great work so far Tom, thank you for these very detailed meter reviews!

Love the videos! I have a 115 and 87V, very happy to have Fluke meter. Considering getting a Brymen, 121GW or maybe a UNI-T next.

Got a Brymen BM869s as my bench MM and I'm very happy with it. It's a bit unwieldy as an everyday carry, so I picked up an affordable Fluke 101 as well. My requirements are pretty simple but the Fluke does get used on mains installations, and I trust the brand at least to meet the 600V CATIII spec it claims to have. Plus it's always good to flash Yellow in public :)

A nice test. Love my two Flukes too ... one is Made in the USA, another Made in Holland :D

it would be cool if you would also review some of the older models like the 79, curious to see how they stack up.

Fluke 87V, 87V max (fluke 28 II basically) does have 20000 counts high resolution mode. Bymen BM869 does have 500000 counts for DCV range to rival some bench dmm.

Quoting the Fluke 87 manual "For Model 87 in the 4 1⁄2-digit mode, multiply the number of least significant digits (counts) by 10." and Quoting the 87V MAX manual "For the 4 1⁄2-digit mode, multiply the number of least-significant digits (counts) by 10.". My takeaway from the manuals is the you get more resolution but no more accuracy. The Bremen BM869s manual I have is silent on whether the accuracy figures for DC volts applies to 50,000 count or 500,000 count mode. In the Greenlee DM-860A manual (rebranded BM869s) it states "Specifications are for 50,000 counts mode." My opinion on bench meters: I would not buy one where that is less then 6 1/2 digits and the 10 V range accuracy was less then 0.004% + 0.0004% of range.

In this chinese voltage reference (AD584) is a little noise from the voltage converter- MC34060 (for LiPo 3,7V battery). Better is simple voltage reference without converter. Anyway good job .

@N8FDY 5 ай бұрын

The DAC (AD5693R) I am using has its own internal 2.5V reference with 5 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient.

I virtually have all these meters (among many others) except in my case the 117 is a 115, the 177 is a 179 and the 87V Max is a 28 II. Still, my go-to meter is the Fluke 189. Will never part with that one.

Sorry, but the max function doesn’t show you the “Inrush” Inrush is the first 3-5 cycles.. a few ms.. and the max function shows you the first full second roughly
