    Very nice, i actually like the leaads with all four 90's, imo it easier to hold onto the leads. I love fluke

    im currently after a 52-2. im kinda up in the air about the 80pk-8 clamp probe since fieldpiece makes the same exact on with a different name on it and its like $30 cheaper...and i already have one of em. the only thing that sucks about the fieldpiece one is it doesnt say fluke on it.

    That would be a good buy, i love my 52-2. I already have one of the 80PK-8 clamps, now that i have the 52-2 i need another for temp diff lol. And as for it sayin fluke, get a sharpie lol

    Love my 902 but couldn't justify paying for the 52-2, bought a TPI for 1/3 of the price and it works great.

    Totally fluke. Even bought a Fluke Thermal imaging Camera. ($10K) We use it for looking for loose connection in a power panel and also for leaks in duct work and also refrigerant leaks. Works all the time.

    Why a 116 also? What are you using it for. Curious...

    The fluke 116 has a higher ohms range than the 902, for temp sensors and such. Also it can read frequency/Hrz, which is used for motors and VFD's in commercial. It aslo as milli volts, micro amps, and temperature. Clamp meters are nice, i have the 902, but a good quality DMM is a good thing to have.
    Ill will be purchasing one in the near future, i need it for the frequency option.

    Well the 322 clamp and the 16 are retired to my small tool bag for quick fix and to take to family or friends to do small stuff. The 902 and the 116 are my main meters I use everyday along with the 52-2.

    and that is crap!!!

    piece of crap meter, fluke cannot get thier chit straight and even think about keeping up with the industry in what we, as HVAC technicians, really need!

    vlots, amps, capacitance, temp, and ohms.

    i can do without temp in one meter, but the damn thing better be able to read ohms!!!

    all of the fluke amp clamp meters (junk) fall way way short of reading ohms as they should. i am not going to carry two meters to a job just because one of my overpriced and overrated meters cannot do one function properly!

    just assume buy something that fits my needs for day to day activities, and the 902 would be nice, but ohming something out is just about a day to day thing, and i don't need to carry two pieces of crap around with me all day long. especially when brand "X" sells a meter that beats the pants off the fluke at a lower cost to me, the person footing the bill for the proper tools to get the job done!

    argh-- fluke

    Lol, someone is a little cranky, i guess you found out the 902 doesnt exactly have the highest ohm reading out of a lot of meters lol. You should of read the specs first, my buddy ran into the same problem.

    OH! i read the spec's. and that is why, again, fluke will not be getting any of my money. i was really considering buying one. but eff them!! they have absolutely no clue as to what an HVAC technician needs in the field.

    must be all these fluke washed people supporting thier crappy practice that allows them to get away with such B.S.

    y7 turbo got one and last i heard he really likes it.

    i am looking more for a amp clamp meter. small size, compact and can do all the readings. i don't have a whole lot of room in my tool belt to be carrying around a bunch of meters, and thier accessories
