Reviews: Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter
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?
