Reviews: Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dj Owais from Excellent feature rich multimeter I have purchased my first Fluke multimeter in 2016 which is Fluke 87-V and I am really happy with my purchase. This DMM is excellent feature rich and I use its most of the features. I have purchased it for my workbench for my electronics repair work. This multimeter is absolutely accurate and reliable for serious electronics engineers and repair technicians. I have repaired lots of complicated electronics equipments using this DMM. I've found that all over the world reputated industrial electronics repair companies using this 87-V model for their high tech electronics labs and workstations. I have found that diode test voltages of this DMM is very sufficient for all types of IGBT modules or single IGBT, MOSFET and other Transistors and Diode testing. Nanosiemense Conductance function also I use most for checking of components leakage test. And I'm really happy that this function is very useful for checking Diode, Transistors, FET, Mosfet and other semiconductors leakage resistance test. However I didn't find any video on internet for this useful feature but mentioned in user manual of this DMM model. I have found that I can test shorted component in circuit rail with the help of mV scale and external power supply hookup to shorted rail. Other all features and functions are also very accurate and useful as well in this DMM. Hidden features of this DMM also really useful specially 2 REL function where I can easily monitor the offset values of any specific measurement for example; if checking any voltage drifting in higher or lower range (offset value) I can simply press relative button and meter display shows 0 and once measurement starts it will show any drifting value positive side or negative side from that values. I use this function in resistance measurement mode also for testing variable resistors like volume or pot for any jumps or intermittent skipping in viper terminal of them. Min/Max/Avg mode also great and accurate also useful for recording measurements over time. All and all this multimeter is awesome and preferable for all of those who are troubleshooting and repairing delicate electronics equipments. I have purchased Fluke 117 and Fluke 325 Clamp meter also after satisfied with Fluke performance.

Rated 2 out of 5 by johnrh from Good meter, bad support Its a good meter, when the display went bad i contacted fluke to have it repaired, I was bluntly told that my version was too old and they didn't support it any longer but they offered to sell me a new one. The older meters are the ones that need support, not the newer ones. At their price point they should do better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by toolnut from Made well and has a great track record Excellent meter that is replacing a couple different meters that I was using to handle different tasks. Very durable and reliable. Looking for a good deal on one for a while and found it. Made in the USA is a plus.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Mr Bob from In My Opinion: Superb Meter Has Disappointments.. Meter itself seems to be fine; all ranges & calibrations seem nominal. Packaging indicates unit was manufactured within a month of arrival. Packaging also indicates meter was made in the US… but surprisingly, no ‘made in’ markings were found on the actual instrument.
It irks me to have confidence in ordering a ‘Lexus’ grade instrument, only to be disappointed by:
1.) Low end stiff springy leads! Where’s the forever ‘fabled in story and song’ Fluke silicone leads? Yes the ones included are (TL75) Fluke branded, but look/feel ‘econobudget’. See photo below.
2.) No included printed manual! Whats with that?!? (If desired one can be ordered free of charge; and/or viewed/downloaded online.)
3.) No Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Certification! Unless I missed it, but close examination of the instrument & packaging revealed nothing. Meter does exhibit other certifications….
The above three surprises earned a two star rating reduction. It’s sad one can’t order and expect the best without having to scrutinize ad copy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gnbilly from Ease of use and features. I bought this to replace a 179 that was stolen. I like the added features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1Soxfan from Fluke 87 V, calibrated out of the box? I've been using these for a lot of years and they work very well. I purchased a new one this week and there's no certificate of Calibration? I assume Fluke wouldn't sell me an out of tolerance produce. And given their product line, knows the importance of a calibration certificate. So is the unit calibrated or not?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joe A from I replaced a 1989 model #87 I have always had good performance from Fluke equipment.
