Questions & Answers
You should decide what you need to do based on what needs to be done. A variety of home and auto repairs are part of what I do. It has many of the normal accessories that I use, so I am happy with the 88 V/A kit. Although the 233 A kit doesn't have as many accessories, it does have a cool remote feature that enables the display head to be removed and carried by the technician, while the main body stays at the measurement point. If the activation point is different from the test point, it can be useful to display a display when the activation point differs. There's nothing wrong with this feature, although it comes at a higher price and consumes more battery power. Based on the price I was willing to pay, I decided to purchase
There is a large display on the Fluke 88V which has two bright, two-way indicators Turn on the backlight at the desired level
Add /A to the 88 V or 88 - kit to give it the /A designation The name of the 5th model is. A basic meter would contain a single unit with one probe tip and a few test leads. As an added bonus, the combo one comes with the carrying case, RPM pick-up probe with inductive pickup, thermocouple probe with temperature, back-probing tips with wide jaw aligator tips, and insulation displacement probe with distance sensor. Despite the fact that there is a big chunk of plastic inside the case, the instrument is still perfectly accurate even though I ordered this to replace my Fluke 88 that melted in a fire. Would you mind telling me if the lifetime warranty still stands.
Selected User Reviews For Fluke 88 V/A Automotive Multimeter Combo Kit
It is a pleasure to deal with Fluke. I was having problems with the silicone test leads and I emailed Fluke, and I was sent out a brand new pair free of charge with no questions asked. This kit is a great one for mechanics because of its accuracy and ease of use. I have always loved Fluke for accuracy and ease of use. Based on the attachments, it definitely relates to the automotive industry. As a mechanic, I have found it to be very useful in my short time with it. My only complaints are two minor ones that I have with the fluke meter. The first thing I noticed was that it had much more features than my old Fluke 77 this was the reason I decided to switch. I feel that it is slightly bigger and more square in shape than my 77 and is not as easy to grab or use as I remembered. Obviously this is a trivial complaint, but I still wanted to point out. I have a second complaint, which is also rather trivial On my old 77 the ohm reading was always 0 ohms when both test leads were held together, but using the exact same test leads on this meter it was only This refers to a 2 ohm load. Even though it is nothing to be concerned with, it bothers me because I like to be as precise as I can. Anyhow, as far as price for what you get, it is the best available.
Fluke delivers exactly what you expect. This meter and its accessories are of the highest quality. Though I am not sure how the molded plastic case is going to hold up in the long run, it is working fine for now. My diagnostic tool enables me to diagnose automobiles as well as build/repair musical instrument amplifiers, and test wiring and circuits in the household. Upon purchase of the Fluke, I noticed incompatibility between the Fluke and its other accessories. There is a slight difference between the Fluke and my other meter in measuring DC voltage. In order to know if I was using the correct voltage source, I purchased a Fluke. The fluke measured the voltage to be five volts. A DC voltage of 1000 volts. Calibrating the reference to 5 was performed. Fluke's results were assumed to be correct, but I now know they were incorrect.
Amazon's description as well as Fluke say it's Made in the USA, but it is only Assembled there. In spite of having seen the stamp on the actual meter I received, I called Fluke to confirm. It is only assembled in the USA, and they could not or would not tell me where the parts they use are manufactured. The quality meter feels and looks good, and the testing will reveal whether or not it is legitimate. Despite this, they still have a limited life time warranty that lasts only as long as they remain Please keep me in your thoughts.
This is the first time I've been working with it, and so far I like it. As soon as you put the case on, the unit feels stronger than ever. Although I only use it about a half dozen times a year, I feel I am worth the cost when I do!.
This works for me more or less exclusively since I use it exclusively for automotive purposes. In terms of the meter and accessories, I am very happy with them, although the case needs some improvement. Though it is sturdy, carrying the entire case is cumbersome, and the sliding door that holds the accessories seems like it will easily wear out over time.
I chose to replace the case with a makeup case, which serves the same purpose.
The reason I was hesitant to buy this item was that some reviews and online sources reported that it is no longer made in the Then they realized they were wrong. There is no doubt that this is still an American issue An extremely well-made meter that is undoubtedly the best on the market and well worth the price. As long as I keep this meter, it should last me at least 25 My old meter died and I had to be without it every day for my business and it was difficult to be without it. With Amazon Prime, I found the best price for this kit and it arrived in less than a week and I immediately put it to use!.
This multimeter is an excellent choice and probably one of the best you can find at its price. In addition to Fluke 77 and 8600, I am very familiar with the Fluke In short, the 88 combines the best of both worlds and is an excellent choice for most electrical applications. This machine can be used both by an experienced technician and by an average person. Today is the first day back after the holiday- DIY person who works in the yard. Most of the leads an electrician would need are included in the kit. In addition to the larger aligator clips, I attache them to the battery terminals of cars. It's true that there are a few meters that offer more features, like higher accuracy or removable displays, but unless you need these features, you're wasting your.
In order to replace an overused and aging Mac multimeter, I bought this device. Aside from the high level of features, accuracy, and accessories in this meter kit, I am very satisfied. There are two things I don't like The meter is made in China (I would be happy to pay $50 more if it were USA-made), and the leads don't fit well into the case when the meter is plugged in. Every time you put your meter away, you have to unplug the leads. As far as I am concerned, these are small details that matter. As a whole, I don't think a multimeter will do any better.
