FLUKE 17B+ Digital Multimeter w/ Temperature & Frequency (CARRYING CASE INCLUDED)

I bought the Fluke 17B+ because I wanted a full function multimeter with the ability to take temp readings. This meter is not made for the US, it made for the Chinese market. However, it works just fine for the US market and it's a lot cheaper. The closest Fluke meter for the US I could find with the same functions on it is the Fluke 179 which cost more than double the price of this one. I don't use a multimeter that often, so I didn't want to spend the $400+ for the 179. This meter works fine for my use. It fits really well in your hand, and has a kickstand on the back to hold it upright when you're not holding it. The leads on it are not the silicon ones Fluke is known for, but at this price I'm not complaining . It didn't come with a case which would have been nice. I think any multimeter over $100 should ship with a case, but oh well. The few times I use it, it responds very quickly and seems to be accurate. It is a Fluke after all. So far I'm very happy with it, especially for the price.

Fluke has always been the mack daddy when it comes to multimeters. If needing a multimeter around the house or car this thing is great. I like the thermocouple that comes with it; I can use it for a baseline in troubleshooting systems that are hot if heating is uneven somewhere. Other Fluke products are extremely expensive. I get using in industrial businesses needing extreme accuracy and constant recalibration, but if you simply need something for getting around daily things you can't beat this. So what, it's made for the China market and doesn't have warranty in the US. I've had this multimeter for 2 and a half years now and haven't had a problem with. It's pretty durable too. If manufactiring location and the ability to drive a 250 / 2500 series truck over a multimeter is your selling point... you're doing something with the multimeter.

This was just what I needed I am very pleased with my Multimeter Thanks very much.

Great meter as always. Has all of the functions you need for your basic, and advanced, electronic testing. If you have the money, and can afford a few extra bucks, just buy it. I learned a long time ago, when it comes to multimeters, don't waste your time, and money, on inexpensive meters. You get exactly what you pay for, and sooner or later you will end up buying a good one anyway. This Fluke is reasonably priced, and will last you a lifetime. And it measures micro amps. Perfect for the weekend electronic hobby person. Quality meter. Note: The case is a china ripoff. Not a Fluke case. But still not too bad of a case.

Good meter if you need that many function the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that the case they provided for the meter sucked, zipper broke first week I had it, I replaced it with a nice Klein one.

Llegó rápido, en buen estado y de buena calidad.

This Fluke is made for the Chinese market I suspect, but it's a great meter for the price. It has a thermocouple and temperature gage for easy use. It had a BIG display, and as a bonus came with a carrying case. All in all, a great deal!

Easy to read and the temperature read is very useful.This unit only reads in °C .
