    Converted to fluke

    Well after countless beatings about bein a UEI guy i finally broke down and got a couple fluke meters, and i must say i am changed. I took my UEI DL389back cause i had some issues with it, the guys at my local supply house let me change it out for a fluke 902, and i love it . The week after christmas i also purchased a fluke 52-2. It is one of the best thermocouple thermometers ive ever used, sturdy, fast and accurate.
    I dont install leaks, i just fix em

    licking your fingers and applying them to a circuit would be more acurate than a UEI

    could i borrow that 52-2 you got??

    I LOVE that thing, kinda hard to justify payin that much for a thermometer, ill just try not to look at the bill lol. And as for borrowin it, that thing will only leave my veto with my hand around it

    I like to keep my tools spotless, although the 902 i got today and the 52-2 is only a week old, they will get dirty. Soon they will be seasoning well

    I've been a fluke tech for a decade. Wouldn't switch at any price!

    I am a Fluke acholic. Get yourself the magnet hanging strap for the Fluke 52-2 works great and frees up your hands. I use my 52 on ever job weather it be a furnace boiler or Ac or what ever two Fluke pipe clamps also and anything else that goes along with it. Next get a Fluke 116. Here is just some of my stuff.

    I am hankering to buy more new fluke stuff, idk what has gotten into me but since christmas ive spent over a thousand dollars in tools. All worth it thought. I see you have what looks like a 322 also, i have one as well, i was thinkin about getting the 116, does it have frequency?

    Here is the information on the 116 on frequency
    The Meter measures the frequency of a signal by counting
    the number of times the signal crosses a trigger level each
    second. The trigger level is 0 V for all ranges.
    1. Press key to turn the frequency measurement
    function on and off. Frequency works with ac volts only.
    2. In frequency, the bar graph and range annunciator
    indicate the AC voltage present.
    3. Select progressively lower ranges using manual ranging
    for a stable reading.

    I use that for the easy calls. In and out. I picked it up at Home Depot. I keep the Fluke 322 and the Fluke 16 along with the same assortment of hand tools I use everyday.
