Why some think fluke is the only way to go.

[itsiceman]

Fluke built.. I think it was a wiggy clone... back in the early 2000s that either killed or nearly killed a couple of folks. I have had Flukes read wrong..... and fail.... and I take care of my stuff.

I think it was the flashlight with a clip. A guy gave those out at work.
It was a nice flashlight. Never used it much for non contact.

True. Anything can fail. One of the reasons I carry multiple meters.

Ever tested something, and it just didn't seem right?

Grab another meter, and double check.....

Lol true!
But i would like to know what he had fail on his.
I wish people at school followed this, maybe they rethink that fluke is the one and only meter you need.

I started talking about manometer and psychometers with them, they all look at me like "what? You need that"

Yep, fluke doesnt do everything all in one.
They honesty believed it did..and this people, our all older then me, im 19..and know that there no way you can get a meter that does everything all in one...they honestly thought it did...

A fieldpiece lt17a is what, about $150?

A fluke 116 is what, about $180?

Granted the fieldpiece comes with the amp clamp atrachment, but still, its not like fieldpiece is that much less expensive.

[ga-hvac-tech]

thank-you
And most who buy Fieldpiece meters end up with Fluke Leads too.

Might as will just get a Fluke lol

I can attest to that...

While I use an SC77 daily... I use Fluke leads... just worth it!

[itsiceman]

I believe the 87 is still made in the U.S.A. as well

So many out there they are cheap used. Older versions are a steal and you can pound nails with them if you need a hammer

My fluke 116 gets over a year on its battery.

My fieldpiece sc240 needs a battery once every couple months.

Fluke has plenty of recalls.

.gov site can be searched.

Big companies do this

Got both Fp and fluke. I prefer my fluke. Fluke temperature feature seems to be off 5-10 degrees on just about every multimeter I have ran across . Do like the fact you can calibrate the fieldpiece. Although I don't use the temperature on my meter much, it should be more accurate.

[techapprent96]

When i got my sc55 i check the temp using the ice water method, it was holding between 32-32.5 without calibration. Now i could bring it down to a constant 32 but didnt wanna take the chance. Fieldpiece manual says u can calibrate it to atleast +\- 1 degree.
