Rated 5 out of 5 by kastagire from Great Multimeter! I picked up this multimeter a few months ago for doing some electrical work around my house, in my RV, and on my truck. So far, it was worked great! The body is a durable plastic, the screen is large and easy to read, and it has a ton of different functions. I am still learning how to use many of the different functions, but this has still proven to be a valuable tool to have in my toolbox!

Rated 5 out of 5 by TomC from Great Product! I use this multimeter daily for troubleshooting electrical issues with automated manufacturing systems. This meter has never let me down and has a bunch of cool features to help you keep control of your probes. It's helped me work through everything from high voltage distribution issues to board level component issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kaleb from Industrial User I work in an industrial environment and this is my go to device for everyday use. It is robust enough to handle the dirty and dusty environment, but accurate enough to handle precise measurements. Took me awhile to step up and buy a quality tool, but once I did, I haven't looked back. Test leads are excellent as well

Rated 5 out of 5 by MarcChauvin from Indispensible I bought this to replace an older Fluke 87 that I had for years [until it caught on fire at a jobsite - not of it's own failure though]. I use it every day - every function is easy to navigate, the backlight is crisp when needed, and the tolerance is exactly what I need for my work. I've bought two more [one for my personal use and a spare for the shop] and won't hesitate to get another if I ever have the need.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DefectiveTech from 4 out of 6 Purchased defective Our company purchased 6 of these meters we now have 2 remaining, yes I know operator error would usually be factored into part of the issue except all 4 that were defective had the same issue we sent back two. Fluke replied it would be more expensive to fix than replace we bought these off Grainger for 500+ ea.
Defect that occurred with our meters was a LEAD error no amount of dry time cleared these faults.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Vinodh Murugan from Reg Current Measurement of 87 V DMM We are using 87V model DMM since 2 years , We use to face issue in current measurement , Ex if we inject 10.00A DMM displays as usual. If we inject 10.01. DMM starts to blink but it also displays the 10.01 as reading. My question is in Datasheet for 87V Fluke has mentioned that the DMM will reads 20A current for 30 Sec duration if it so why the 10.01 A starts blinking both in AC & Dc. We tried in other DMM with same model No's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mrcontinental from I feel safer already Simply the best and safest DMM on the market. There is very little that you can't do with this marvel. The premium price that you are paying is for the additional safety features. For a DIY such as myself safety is my top priority. There are cheaper DMM that can do many of the same things as the 87V but as soon as you check the CAT ratings you see why they are cheaper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by eurokid83 from The legendary Fluke 87 I've been using Fluke products for a long time now, all the way back to the original 87 meter. The 87-V still has that original 87 look and feel with greater accuracy, safety, and functionality. The best general purpose DMM on the market in my opinion.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Danster2897 from Great Meter, horrible leads I purchased 87V + electricians kit yesterday. The meter works great, but the leads are horrible. The leads have a plastic covering up to two millimeters from the edge of the tips preventing the leads from being able to be inserted into plug receptacles! This must be a marketing decision from Fluke, to ensure greater, forced sales of other leads. Any, and all electricians will require different leads, and this decision by Fluke is unacceptable, especially on the 87v which isn't cheap to begin with, and is their top tier model.
I'm returning the meter today. There are many other manufactures to choose from.

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?

Rated 4 out of 5 by 505090 from Great meter, disappointing leads Just got the meter and it so far the meter itself seems great.
Was rather shocked by the leads provided. The cat IV rating is with cheap plastic caps that snap on, we will see how long those last. And the alligator clips just slide on so as soon as I get the first nick in the probe I imagine those will start failing.
Was expecting a bit more from a company like Fluke. The meter is awesome so I guess I'll just have to by decent set of leads when these wear out in a few months.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DESLDizzle from Though in weather. I had left my meter on the curb while proformimg some voltage drops at home on my rig and got drenched in a quick rain storm with the hood up. The Fluke 87VsII Digital Multimeter stood up to the rain water nicely. In addition, with it's huge back lit LED display, and easy to comprehend dial symbols it has made learning the basics of metering super smooth. This is a great tool that will be with me in my career for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DavidRefrigerationGuy from The best techs use the best tools Many years ago I was told the best techs use fluke. He was right. I've been using fluke products for around 11 years. I replaced an 87 with this 87-v. I think it's the best meter on the market. Especially with the improved backlight temperature added and a few other new features. Fluke is incredibly accurate and maintains calibration. My understanding is that other products use electrolytic capacitors and over time they loose value. But fluke doesn't. Great products. Your onky gonna buy one once every 10-20 years so just go ahead and shell out the dough for the best. I also use a fluke 77, 29 II, and a 62 Max ir thermometer. By far the best products made! 77 stil dead on accurate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lanchile007 from Very well build! The Fluke 87V is the father of all multimeters. These Fluke meters are tanks and can take the toughest job and survive!!! Build quality and accuracy all over. My boss has a Fluke 87 and after 12 years He checked the calibration and it was right on it...imagine after 12 years a meter that can hold the calibration like when it came out of the box!!!! That is when I realized these meters were the best and I had to have one. People that use Fluke meters will never look back to another meter brands.
Hats off to Fluke for their excellent Multimeters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck86 from AAAA+ meter If I only needed one meter, this is the one meter I would rely on. From it's quick response to it's multi applications it's THE meter to have. Does everything I could ask for in a meter of this size and cost. Use mine throughout the day to calibrate drives, to checking temps. It does it all. Not cumbersome to tote around. Lots of thought was put into this model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lasso from A rugged, dependable, and accurate meter. The Model 87V was purchased to measure AC voltage for audio, where the measurements above 1 KHz had always been suspect with an older meter I had on hand. Due to the Model 87V's bandwidth out to 20 KHz, I am now able to reliably measure loudspeaker sensitivity using the multimeter in conjunction with a SPL calibrated microphone. This was previously a problem with tweeters since most of their output is above 1KHz.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lasso from A rugged, dependable, and accurate meter. The Model 87V was purchased to measure AC voltage for audio, where the measurements above 1 KHz had always been suspect with an older meter I had on hand. Due to the Model 87V's bandwidth out to 20 KHz, I am now able to reliably measure loudspeaker sensitivity using the multimeter in conjunction with a SPL calibrated microphone. This was previously a problem with tweeters since most of their output is above 1KHz.

The accuracy of these meters and the robust manufacturing that goes into these meters is second to none.

This is a must for anyone diagnosing and performing any electrical work on anything.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris from The best for the money. I have had my 87V for a few months now and is by far one of the best meters I've owned. I am a Technical Supervisor for a small electronics mfg co and I purchase Fluke products whenever the need arises. Fluke products are by far the best on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CorrosionGuy from Fluke 87 V Fits the bill I use this DMM specifically for Cathodic Protection testing, troubleshooting, and training. This versatile test instrument is perfect for demanding and rugged use, and stands up to most field environments, from CP test readings, to troubleshooting CP rectifier components, to investigating stray dynamic AC and DC power on gas distribution and transmission pipelines.
