Fluke is an excellent brand, if you are checking capacitors, an old analog one will probably work good for that task but I have a fluke 77 and a 119. I bought my first fluke in a pawn shop and sent it to fluke for repair, had almost 100 invested before I learned to check each setting before buying used. Now I try to buy new. Tim

Let me see if I have this straight

Fluke repairs what it sells?

Repair and calibrate from memory, yep.

If you had a meter, you could tell just how shocked you were.

I was thinking about this one

I'm still unphased

I've got one of these as well...but that should be no shock of course..

There is a meter for that too.

Did you use to fix B24s or something?

B24's...B25's....what ever it takes.

The capacitance setting on the newer meters are nice..

You da man

If Fluke is out of your price range & you have a credit card, you could charge it.


(I do have a whole battery of puns, I find them to be polarizing)

I suppose there are positives and negatives to that.

"Fluke".....there is no room inaccurate readings that could cause you to chase your tail and accuracy starts with quality tooling.....:).....

Watt to do, I am so amped up

OK
Welll I guess I'm sold on that 77-4

I have a Fluke 87-3 that I had to buy to test for parasitic draws 30Ma was the spec. i also use my old Snap-on Mt836 for testing Alt diodes and rectifier bridges. The old analogue meters still have their place. Thank God I dont have to use these to make a living anymore.

Electrifying decision

The big question- what do you want it for? If it's just for the odd stuff around the house and cars you don't need anything expensive. I've got two cheapos that have served me well for years. If you will be working on something with high voltage or using it pretty regularely then go for something better like Fluke.
