Questions & Answers
Leads that are actually Fluke will have the yellow logo and will rotate smoothly. Similarly, real Fluke leads are expected to have a rock solid resistance at around 0.1. On May 5th, If the probes are moved around, 1 ohm will remain even if the probes touch. It is not safe to use the grey leads as they are counterfeit and you will get inaccurate resistance readings from them. Don't hesitate to throw them away if in doubt. If you work with air conditioning, your life may depend on it.
A Fluke 117 will fit this. This lead and the 117 together can make a great combination
All the leads have retractable sleeves, including the black and red ones.
You will be able to fit them.
Selected User Reviews For Fluke TL175 Twistguard Test Leads, 2 mm Diameter Probe Tips
Fluke's standards are not up to par. As shown in the photo, the probe I received looks similar to those shown. In other words, there is no yellow Fluke logo on them. It is only embossed into the black for "Fluke". It was best tool that I ordered my set from. While the leads are silicone, they are nowhere near the quality of the TL71 probes that I received a bit over a week ago from Best Tool. In addition to the rough and difficult twist mechanism at the tip of the probe, this set's construction falls far below the quality I've noticed in other sets like this. Most significantly, though, the metal tips themselves are dull and subpar, and need to be replaced. If you use them with the continuity test on two separate meters, you will hear a scratchy noise due to I compared my Fluke TL71 set and the Amprobe leads that came with the AM-500 with that I previously got These two rock formations, both 130, share a common feature A solid foundation. As soon as you touch them, a continuity buzzer starts blaring. These seem to be fakes to me. It looks like they're going back to the hotel.
My experience with these silicone TL175 leads has also been disappointing. The leads clearly appear to be genuine Fluke leads when examined closely, however after using them for maybe three months of casual use, the resistance of the leads is zero. This is a 9* rate, which is When I went back to using the stiff simple leads that came with my Fluke 115 meter, the older leads read zero. This would be a good place to start. This is past the point when I should have bought directly from Fluke I should have returned these to Amazon. Amazon is not a reliable source for products I can recommend to you. A. LATEST UPDATE Fluke generously provided me with a new pair of TL175 leads after contacting them with my sob story. You will not be asked any questions. I am impressed with their dedication to their product. I am impressed with how they stand behind it. It is very disappointing that my new TL175 leads have a It is again no. 1*), and I am happy.
It is a great feature that the shroud retracts, I usually toss the one because it makes testing a pain in the bum, but with these test leads it is retractable, and I like that very much. This test lead has one of the best strain reliefs and silicon I have ever seen on a test lead. There is one thing that bothers me about these leads - the resistance is very high. Fluke leads have a resistance less than half that of Cat IV Flir leads, and Siglent leads are less than half that of Cat II Siglent Fluke leads have a higher resistance for whatever reason, even though the cables have the same thickness. In spite of the low 0, it's still fairly good. I measure my Flir and Siglent leads at 05 OHM, while I measure my Siglent leads at zero OHM. The number 028 and 0 is a whole number. But I still prefer to use a Fluke, as they stand out as a great design, and I can't tell the difference without a Fluke. As far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer very sharp pointy tips rather than the round bubble shaped thing they use. My only complaint is the shape of the tips in certain cases. I use them mainly for electronics. Although, I do have other gold-plated tests leads in case you need them.
There is a good chance that the probes I received are fakes. It is not uncommon for readings not to be consistent after a few months of use. In addition, the "twist guard" is very stiff and difficult to adjust A ratcheting noise is made. The probes I received are gray in color & have a metal handle. The description shows a yellow bar, but they don't have it. We sold ours to the Essex Technology Group & Environmental Solutions The order is filled - I have removed these from my good meters and have not read them Honestly, I have used them only on older meters where the readings do not need to be as precise. I'm giving them two stars just because they work but I wouldn't trust them with anything important. BGG - I'm doing fine, thanks! The Arbez.
I left the twisguards open eventually, as their flexibility was well below freezing. The leads remain supple and flexible well below freezing, and the twisguards seem to work well. It's really too bad though that even though the insulation is flexible, it still cracked and split near the end where it came out of the banana plug. I always wrap my leads well to ensure there is no strain, and these still cracked and split. Unfortunately, this is not the end of the world.
The reason I bought these was because I knew they would be of higher quality and would last longer when used every day. In my experience, many of the cheaper meters haven't held up very well because I use my meter a lot. This is similar to the saying "you get what you pay for. ". These fluke ones are not cheap like the ones I have used in the past, but they are designed much better than those I have used in the past.
I just wanted to continue with the five stars. I have a Fluke 337 clamp meter and I am using these. Wire on these leads is much like a really soft silicone that does not tangle, kink, or corrode. In contrast to the stiffer leads my testers came with, the leads from my samples will always fall straight and tangle-free. It didn't occur to me they had threads for the AC175 aligator clips that I picked up too and are handy whenever I need them. The adjustable probe length feature hadn't occurred to me for a long time since I had lived without it for so many years, but I use it all the time. My only quibble would be the length of the reinforcement at the plug. Partly due to the length. My original leads were shorter, so I have to fit them into my pouch a little more akwardly. But since those leads failed and split at a certain point, I am confident these will hold up. Another thing that separates these from stock leads is their length. I love the fact that the design is not too much, but enough to make these more versatile. You'll feel as though you're using a completely different.
They are very flexible as well. Due to fluctuating readings, i at first thought my meter was malfunctioning and thought it was broken. The problem should be fixed now. As soon as they got close to the meter, the meter stopped. The price is a bit high, but I would recommend it if your old one breaks At this point, I have had a Fluke meter about a quarter century and this is the first replacement, so I expect them to last a lifetime.
