 Fluke 88V

The Fluke 88V has improved measurement functions, trouble-shooting features and accuracy to solve more problems on conventional and hybrid vehicles. The 88V is the most powerful automotive multimeter ever offered by Fluke. In addition to having all standard multimeter features like the ability to measure voltage, current, continuity, and resistance, the 88V can perform diode test and pulse width measurements.

This meter can take current measurements up to 20A for 30 seconds and 10A continuously. The optional magnetic hanger lets you attach the meter to most steel surfaces for easy set-up and viewing. The 88V is designed to be used in high energy environments like those found on hybrid vehicles.

Measures

  • Resistance, continuity and diode test
  • Millisecond pulse width measurements for fuel injectors
  • Frequency to 200 kHz and % duty cycle
  • Measure up to 1000 V ac and dc
  • Measure current up to 10 A, 20 A for up to 30 seconds
  • 4 ½ digits for precise measurements
  • RPM measurements with optional inductive pickup
  • Temperature measurements with optional temperature probe

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. June 26, 2012
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! November 16, 2012
Very accurate and quick readings Had a previous Fluke meter before,worked very well. Upgraded to the Fluke 88v kit. Very accurate and very good quality. Was pleased with the accessories that came in the kit, made my job diagnosing cars alot easier. June 9, 2012
best meter for automotive on the market i was extremely impressed with the fluke over all the meters i have used in class. it is the most accurate and flawless meter. it is absolutely worth every penny. June 8, 2012
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. June 7, 2012
