DIGITAL MULTIMETER

I was thinking of buying an 87V but decided to try the mil-spec "heavy duty" version of the 87V; the FLUKE 28||. Mind you this was only the second VOM meter I ever purchased & the most expensive thus far, so I was afraid of even getting it dirty. While performing maintenance on a commercial building I had an incident. I didn't have it for a week before the klutz in me took over & the meter did a peter-pan out of my grasp, bounced off the roof access ladder & in my horror I watched helplessly as my FLUKE 28|| plummeted in slow motion thirty feet before smacking into solid concrete. After finding no exterior damage I turned it on & to my astonishment it worked! The only thing I can find wrong with it is the loud beeper is silent, I have the T5-600 if I really need to make some continuity noise. I know I should have the meter properly calibrated to make sure it's still accurate but I tested it on some known electrical effects & it's accurate enough for me right now. as for the beeper... I don't miss it. If it was any other meter besides the FLUKE 28||, I assure you it would've involved a broom & dustpan!

I bought this meter about a year ago and liked its safety features Readings were quick and stable. A big plus is It uses three AA alkaline batteries that can last up to 600 hours. The unit is packed with a pair of PVC test leads that does not plug into the meter easily, it requires a lot of force to get them seated properly. This premium Fluke multi meter should have been packaged with a set of premium Fluke silicone test leads.
