Rated 5 out of 5 by Big Lew from Nice for reading Amps T5-600 is Great. Question will it work AC Line Splitter example Tekpower M920 AC Line Splitter, does Fluke have a unit that will work with the T5-600

Rated 4 out of 5 by beanhead88 from great limited range tester for everyday functions I brought mine in 2006 so its about 13 yrs old, and its seen and been through it all and theres been no real issues! My only complaint (and id be glad to be corrected) is that you cant mesure amps between A+N with the test probes to see what an outlet cct may be drawing. But for the price and ease of use, and the probe holder on the meter (which is a great function imo) its a good little all rounder!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tnjack from Great value. A few shortcomings. This is my second t5-600.
Love the light weight, multiple features (Amp clamp, vom).
Higher resistance reading would be a plus, but I realize that Fluke doesn't want to eat into the market for it's other meters.
My large Fluke meter has a lighted display. That would be awesome on the T5.
Be warned: My old meter did not have detachable leads.
I don't feel that feature is needed with this type of meter.
If you put one of your probes in the socket in the back so you can test while holding the meter, it is very easy to get the probes in there so deep that once you try to remove them, they come unplugged from the leads.
Mine would come unplugged every time.
I called Fluke tech support and the tech got a T5 and was quickly able to recreate the problem.
His solution: Try not to wedge them in too tight.
:-(
My solution:
(super glue doesn't work)
If you wrap a piece of electrical tape around plug where the lead connects, it makes it difficult to attach the probe, but it will stop coming apart each time you are finished using the meter.
Come on Fluke, you make world class products.
You can make this meter better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tibby from Light Them Up I sure wish the voltage reading would light up in dark places.
It is hard to check voltages,for example in cealings.LED light sure would
be helpfull.

Rated 5 out of 5 by msdhoff from Money well spent! I bought this tester and it was money well spent. I don't think I will have reason to buy another tester for a long time. The settings are easy to use. I love troubleshooting with this tool. Thank you Fluke for an excellent product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Paddy from Easy To Use I work in noisy environments & put the meter up to my ear like a phone when I'm checking continuity. This meter is compact, lightweight & durable.
