Rated 5 out of 5 by Zach Harris from Most useful tool ever! The Fluke 88V has been and continues to be the best investment I have ever made! Also the most reliable piece of equipment that I own - over 10 years of constant use and no problems ever. You won't find quality like this very often!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pasnizal1 from BEST METER HANDS DOWN Purchased my fluke a year ago or so after constantly having errors in readings on my other automotive tool brand meter. A false reading can really screw you up when diagnosing critical voltage systems in the automotive industry. I love the trust I have with this meter. The illuminated screen helps in tight spots.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jhousek1 from This product is as durable as they come. I have been an auto mechanic for the last 25 years. My last Fluke 88 had finally been acting up to the point that it was annoying. I called them and read off my serial number and the rep told me it was purchased in 1990 and that parts for this meter are no longer avail. I never even hesitated to buy a new one. 22 yrs old! Think about that........used in one of the harshest enviroments, humidity, heat, cold, snow, etc and it lasted 22yrs. Kudos to Fluke! What a product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Russ130 from Great Quality Tool I have several other multimeters that use in different locations. I keep the Fluke at my main job where I diagnose cars electrical and computer problems. I have an Actron and a Blue Point one at home and a Radio Shack one at my part time job where I also diagnose electrical and computer issues. The Fluke is easily the highest quality meter and you can feel the difference just by turning it on. It has all the features I need plus a couple of nice features like back lighting. My Blue Point meter may actually be made by Fluke for them but is not the same quality as the original Fluke. The accessories that come with it will get you started and you can add on from there. I use my Fluke meter everyday and it performs flawlessly every time. The speed is much better than the other meters by far which goes a long way when you are testing a ECM connection for different voltages or resistances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rocketdog from Reliable and durable I am a truck tecnician and my primary responsibilities are diagnostics. As a professional I need a meter that is both reliable and durable. The Fluke 88V meets both of those requirements. I have worked in the industry for 40 years and have used several other name brand equipment but none compare with my Fluke. The meter is also very versitile, it not only performs basic tests, it also will read Hertz, temperature and pressure and vacuum readings. I would highly reccommend this meter to anyone in the automotive industry that needs an excellent diagnostic tool.
