Reviews: Fluke 28 II Rugged Digital Multimeter
Rated 2 out of 5 by mule1812 from Great meter, useless battery design I purchased this unit approximately one year ago it has performed flawlessly and reliably.
Working in remote areas I thought it prudent to read the manual for battery replacement. Manual states that you require AA batteries and Phillips head screwdriver, imagine my surprise when the batteries fail and I go to replace them and find that the screws in the manual referred to as Phillips head are a specialised type screw which no sane person would carry in their toolbox. Being 150km from the nearest town with a hardware store that was the end off the days work being unable to test the solar setup.
Getting home I find in my toolkit a torque head that fits this unusual screw, opening the compartment I find a battery holder that Quasimodo on a sad day would have designed. Seriously if that’s the best you could come up with you need to fire the person responsible and hire someone from kindergarten.

Rated 5 out of 5 by joe2 from Safe Meter I bought this meter about a year ago and liked its safety features Readings were quick and stable. A big plus is It uses three AA alkaline batteries that can last up to 600 hours.
The unit is packed with a pair of PVC test leads that does not plug into the meter easily, it requires a lot of force to get them seated properly. This premium Fluke multi meter should have been packaged with a set of premium Fluke silicone test leads.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leo18 from Rugged Meter I bought this meter a few months ago the primary reason why I purchased this model is because of its rugged skin its able to survive use in high humid/hot/rain and constant temperature differences in the Gulf Coast. Very dependable high resolution helps the instrument be more accurate.Also the capability to be used as a bench meter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dveazie from My new favorite I've used the 80 series for decades but when looking for a new meter for work I came across this one. Just about all of the same functions and features as the 80's but in a rugged case. Brilliant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by robosocks from Bulletproof...well, close. I purchased this meter back in March while I was working in an automotive R&D test facility. I have had several DMMs, but usually a splash of diesel or a hard drop would kill them. I finally splurged and went with a meter that I knew I'd be happy with, and I'm glad I did. I can rinse this off if it gets something nasty on it, and now at my new position in an aerospace R&D group, it's still trusted enough to be allowed through calibration and is my go-to for quick measurements.
