Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter is rated out of 5 by 163.
Rated 1 out of 5 by diyer999 from The good and bad of the 87V I recently researched several Fluke brand multi-meters because I need a quality multi-meter. The Fluke brand is the only brand I was
considering, its USA made, etc., quality design and parts, warranty and great reputation. I think there are other good meter brands and some of them have features I wish Fluke would consider. I suppose what I really want is a Fluke 87-6. This review is just my opinion of the 87V, as it is currently manufactured. My opinion is only about its features. I have no issue with the quality of the product. I got much of my information from Fluke's printed information, talking to Fluke reps and retailers, YouTube reviews, verified Amazon purchases, etc. The 87V has features I like, but is also missing some features I feel are very important.
Other Fluke models I was considering lack too many features, or have issues the 87V doesn't. So, I narrowed my choice of a meter to either this model, possibly a new Fluke model, or perhaps one of their competitors, like Agilent. I know litle about Agilent meters, but due to the lack of features I do want on the 87V, I am going to at least see what Agilent has to offer. There may also be other brands I should consider also, but I have no clue what brands those should be. As for the 87V, I don't know how to give it features it doesn't have, and that is why I will be looking at some other brands. But I'm wondering if there is any manufacturer that makes a meter with all the features, accuracy, and quality of the 87V meter, but without any of its shortcomings? Btw, I don't mean that to read as an invitation to any brand bashing.
I also agree with the guy on YouTube's EEVBLOG, who said that for the high price of Fluke meters they should give you the magnet-strap.
Furthermore, I say give me the magnet-strap and keep the leads, or drop the meter's price and let me pick my own accessories. This policy of Fluke's making you purchase each and every extra accessory is redundant. They give you test leads and alligator clips with a meter but they might not be the accessories you would choose -- perhaps you already have them. So, just as you must pay for accessories you do want, Fluke is forcing you to pay for accessories you don't want. You should be able to purchase this model without any leads. I'm sure that would lower the cost.
FLUKE 87V, SIX GOOD FEATURES:
1. The 87V has a greater diode voltage test range 2.4V test of an LED.
2. A louder audible continuity signal
3. Easy to read buttons.
4. 41/2 digits display.
5. The 9V battery gives better protection against leakage than double AA batteries (when batteries are left in a meter for extended periods of time without usage).
6. It has fairly decent shockproof protection.
FLUKE 87V FOUR BAD FEATURES:
1. One of the worst issues with the Fluke 87V model, is that it has self tapping metal screws going into the plastic case halves that can strip the plastic half. Combining dissimilar materials almost always causes some kind of a problem, sooner or later.
2. It needs more protection from rain (you cant always choose your test environment, for example, outdoor automotive or marine diagnosis).
3. It needs glow in the dark buttons, that activate with the backlight "if" one chooses to turn it on (again, you cant always choose when or where you have to use a tool).
4. It has no on/off button, so you can set the meter to test function, before turning the meter on (a very desirable feature, that many have an issue with)
If Fluke fixed those issues, as well as, keeping the good features (some products get worse when they get revised), then I would definitely buy a 87V in a heartbeat. But that would most likely call for a new model revision, an 87 VI.
Btw, sorry for any typos, misspelling, grammar errors there may be.
ADDENDUM: Someone suggested that a headphone port, or a screen that flashes the word continuity could be useful, when testing for continuity in a noisy environment. That's not something I needed, but I do understand the suggestion .

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bothered from Flashing LEAD message, ramdom I work for a Utility in the Chicagoland area. We have experienced at least 3 of the 87FLUKE where we receive a random error message of LEAD. This is without the unit being wet, dropped, abused, etc. Has anyone else experienced this?

Rated 1 out of 5 by JP93065 from New Fluke 87V Dead on Arrival Just purchased a new 87V DMM from Fry's Electronics. Tried to turn it on and it is dead. Purchased a new 9V battery and the meter is still dead. So, if you purchase one of these meters I suggest you check it before you leave the store. And of course, it was Fry's last meter. Now I have to wait almost a week to get a replacement. Not to mention I am out almost $5 on a 9V battery I don't need. Fluke- are you checking these expensive meters before you ship them?
