Fluke Summary

[@Radek__]

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.

You forgot more than I know, your amazing!!! Thanks from K9JFS 73’s

[@jeffspaulding9834]

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.

[@YahJeff]

Luckily for me. I’m not surrounded by those type. I do wanna expand onto more expensive testing equipment.

[@Whoadayson]

Sad.... but true, as I found out myself. Luckily I saw it coming and got him on video, although the company didnt take kindly to me conducting my own surveillance 🤷 I care not. Got my meter back although under the guise of 'sorry I borrowed it and forgot' so he skated by on that, but I never saw him acting sketchy again, so maybe lesson learned - probably not!

[@mikefinn2101]

Nice video well done. looking for next one

[@cremvustila]

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

[@BhindiBhaji888]

This channel is great. The videos are really informative but also really chilled out. Definitely deserves a lot more subscribers

[@andrepompeo]

great analysis!!! the most complete I've ever seen on KZbin

[@ElectroAtletico]

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!!

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

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

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

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.

[@ChrisElisonElectronics]

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.

[@kaasmeester5903]

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 :)

[@roderickmcleod4864]

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

[@kevkabluebird1032]

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

[@budi0251]

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.

[@N8FDY]

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.

[@DroneSurf]

Thank you for take your time and valuable information. !!

[@Hartley94]

Great reviews ❤

[@guateque1718]

If I imagined that all my multimeters got stolen and I had to replace them all. The fluke 189 would be the only fluke I would consider having. Sadly, fluke discontinued it. I would buy all the brymen meters again, they are great meters.

[@Elektromanik]

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]

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

[@roguegeek]

How do you feel about the Fluke 28 II?

[@N8FDY]

I have never tested a Fluke 28 II, but as fare as I can tell the Fluke 28 II and the Fluke 87V Max look identical and have the same specifications. The Fluke 28 II is $595.41 at TEquipment.com and the Fluke is 87V Max is $487.70 at TEquipment.com. I hope someone can shed more light on any differences between them. If they are in fact identical, I would get the Fluke 87V Max. I sell most of the meters I review but kept the 87V Max and use it.

[@ianrosal1235]

review next all UNI-T😊

[@stevenchan9885]

The for the fluke reviews.

[@ssalient]

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.

[@dennisfabian2570]

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

[@JesusRamirez-tn7fs]

Master falto el modelo 88 V qie es el que yo tengo me hubiera gustado la reseña de ese modelo saludos desde Mexico 🤝👆👍👏🇲🇽

[@ChlodsPascual]

For me i like 189 for bench . For hime service i like fluke 115 or fluke 189

[@TranTek]

i kept 115, 117, 179 and 87v sold 87v max, 1507, 289 i like 289

[@alleng0795]

Its the worst customer service i ever saw , they transfer my call i was 80 minutes on waiting until 4 pm which they are close and my call automatically drop

Nice test after just watching Fluke basher Harry with his beaver thinking mind...
