Rated 5 out of 5 by ASEMastertechAdam from Very Durable and perfect replacement for my 87 III I purchased an 87 V as a replacement for my 87 III meter that I've had for 13+ years. Fluke couldn't fix the backlight on it, but everything else still worked 100%. Fluke offered me a trade-in but I couldn't part with a fantastic DMM like that. So, I bought an 87 V and gave my III to a friend that's learning to be an auto technician. I've had my 87 V for over a year now and its working great, and the 87 III is still working as well. I'd buy another without hesitation, but I'd get an additional set of leads for flexibility and the alligator clips too. Those are way too useful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnClark05 from Versatile, Accurate,& Indestructible I bought the 87V several years ago and have used it many times. It is versatile for most anything I want to do. I am a DIY'er and don't use it professionally but I use quite often in automotive, household, and electronics. The diode function is quite useful for anything from alternator checks to small electronic circuit and component troubleshooting. I've used in the house to check everything from my AC run capacitors in the capacitance mode to the thermostat and temp control in my wife's ovens using the thermometer function. It does everything I've asked it to do and it is extremely durable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BrianP from Great Meter I have grown up on the Sears version, but I got this Fluke to use at work as an electronics engineer and was blown away by the functionality. Not only can it handle a lot higher current and has more features, it's significantly faster and can catch transient voltages too. I want one at home now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zuul from Rugged and Reliable I had a older Fluke 87 that could no longer be calibrated, so I convinced my boss that it was time for a new one.
The Fluke 87 V is every bit as durable and full-featured as my old meter. Plus, it adds temperature measurement and "Hi Res" as a bonus. My company designs audio equipment, so we frequently need to obtain an RMS measurement with a test tone while we measure toasty the power amp is getting.
It's a bit pricey, but I definitely got what I payed for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shaunt317 from Great all around multi meter. I purchased this meter to use on building automation equipment and it has never let me down. The wide range of features and ability to measure 4-20mA signals helps me to troubleshoot issues without guess work. With Fluke, you know your buying a great quality product. I've dropped it from ceiling level without any internal damage. I would definitely purchase again but with the quality of build, I doubt I'll ever need to buy a new meter again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Butch2950 from Safety First I bought my 87V combined with a PRV240 proving meter. I've been using Fluke products for a long time they are highly accurate, reliable and safe. I’m actually a generator technician and love those leads, they work great for what I do. This is a great meter, accurate, durable and together with the proving meter makes my job a lot safer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HVTech from Does It All!!! I've been using this meter for the past 2 years and have never had an issue with operation or calibration. The auto-ranging saves tons of time and keeps the meter safe. The large display is easy to read from a distance or in low light situations. The most rugged, accurate and simple multimeter I have used in 20 years.
P.S. The battery life is awesome too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by iWatchman from Superior Quality. Just received my Fluke 87v in the mail. The unit was supplied with a basic lead set with protective caps for Cat IV testing per IEC 61010-031k requirements. As compared to my Snap-on and Klein meters this Fluke is superior in quailty of build and function. I haven’t had it long enough to put it through all its paces, so I cannot comment on some of the other issues that other reviewers have posted. I have read on other online forums that Fluke sometimes charges a hefty fee for repairs even with the lifetime warranty. So only time will tell if my purchase was a complete success, however so far, I have no buyer’s remorse.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tony S from Very Simple and reliable I work directing people how to test machines remotely over the phone, and I'm always happy when they have a Fluke 87 meter. I can tell them how to use it and I'm confident in the results. The numbers are steady, and we can make decisions based off of the data provided. Competitive equipment seems to be much less reliable and the features just are not there!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Guzzimon from Fluke 87-V, Fluke 78 These are my two primary meters. I had the 78 for several years to use with accessories for carburetor settings, fuel trims, mixture control dwell. Finally upgraded to the 87-V for even more finite measurements from low voltage ckts, to hybrid vehicles. Original slip on lead connectors have been upgraded to structure slip on leads. Very glad to have these tools in my arsenal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrmorrte from Durable and dependable I purchase DVM equipment for my department techs, and the 87-V is our go-to meter. It holds up to day to day demands in the field. And is dependable. Annual calibrations rarely reveal any issues too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Madprof01 from Great service life and support at the end of life I have had my Model87 III for over fifteen years and I bought it used. It always was reliable and very tough. So when I began having issues with the unit reading correctly I had my tool dealer send it in for repairs. Fluke wasted very little time responding with an unavailability of parts to fix that model and offered my the latest version for an amazing price and shipped my new to me. It performs just as expected and it will for many years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevin199 from Confidence in this meter I have used the 87 series meter for the last 20 years I have worked as an industrial electrician and have confidence in it giving consistent readings. I have used other brands but the quality of their manufacture has always brought me back to Fluke.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lokeydawg from Best meter This meter is built like a tank, and is easy to operate with gloves on. I am not an electrician by trade but somehow always get involved in electrical projects. I have owned other meters in the past that have failed in one way or another. I felt it was time to get a lifelong meter so I purchases the 87V with no regrets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JMUSA from Great Meter! Would have liked different leads The 87V is well known to be a rock solid meter. This has definitely been the case for me. No problems whatsoever with the meter. I mainly deal with circuit-level electronics so it is an annoyance that the current ranges default to AC current, but that is a minor complaint. It would be awesome if somehow this was user-configurable. My meter came with the extra-insulated leads but without the removable caps. I think they ship with removable caps now, but I could be mistaken. Fluke also sells leads with a retractable insulation. At the least, I would have preferred to receive the version with removable caps with the meter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KellyVS from Reliability My 179 model meter is one of my most used tools. I depend on it every day. When working with someone else and they want to use their cheap non-fluke brand, I tell them no thanks, I'll go get my Fluke. I can trust it every time.

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 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 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 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 JMUSA from Great Meter! Would have liked different leads The 87V is well known to be a rock solid meter. This has definitely been the case for me. No problems whatsoever with the meter. I mainly deal with circuit-level electronics so it is an annoyance that the current ranges default to AC current, but that is a minor complaint. It would be awesome if somehow this was user-configurable. My meter came with the extra-insulated leads but without the removable caps. I think they ship with removable caps now, but I could be mistaken. Fluke also sells leads with a retractable insulation. At the least, I would have preferred to receive the version with removable caps with the meter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KellyVS from Reliability My 179 model meter is one of my most used tools. I depend on it every day. When working with someone else and they want to use their cheap non-fluke brand, I tell them no thanks, I'll go get my Fluke. I can trust it every time.

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 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 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.
