Rated 5 out of 5 by Dtbeltz from Great and incredibly tough. I have owned it for about a year. And I have had other name brands. This one is reliable good on batteries. Has a incredible bright display. Use it almost daily l.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Patrick from GREAT METER Have had the Fluke 28II for over a 2 years. What a Great Meter. Had a problem from the start when you tried to use the beeper in the continuity mode, the battery would be displayed on screen. Saying the battery was low. Other that the meter worked great. Just sent in they fixed that problem and calibrated the meter. What a GREAT PRODUCT AND COMPANY. Thank you Fluke

Rated 5 out of 5 by fluke28 from I love this meter with all of the specs I love this meter with all of the specs and very tough i had seen reveiws on the meter i have had now for just over a month and relised it has a fault, the meter tells me the batterys are flat when there not as it will not let me use the back light or beep. Ok so this happens the bad point is fluke wont get back to my boss about replacment not repair as it was faulty from day one "life time warranty" WELL ?

Rated 5 out of 5 by AJ430 from KLUTZ! I was thinking of buying an 87V but decided to try the mil-spec "heavy duty" version of the 87V; the FLUKE 28||. Mind you this was only the second VOM meter I ever purchased & the most expensive thus far, so I was afraid of even getting it dirty. While performing maintenance on a commercial building I had an incident. I didn't have it for a week before the klutz in me took over & the meter did a peter-pan out of my grasp, bounced off the roof access ladder & in my horror I watched helplessly as my FLUKE 28|| plummeted in slow motion thirty feet before smacking into solid concrete. After finding no exterior damage I turned it on & to my astonishment it worked! The only thing I can find wrong with it is the loud beeper is silent, I have the T5-600 if I really need to make some continuity noise. I know I should have the meter properly calibrated to make sure it's still accurate but I tested it on some known electrical effects & it's accurate enough for me right now. as for the beeper... I don't miss it. If it was any other meter besides the FLUKE 28||, I assure you it would've involved a broom & dustpan!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Radek from Battery issue As is written below - the same issue:
“Have had the Fluke 28II for over a 2 years. Had a problem from the start when you tried to use the beeper in the continuity mode, the battery would be displayed on screen. Saying the battery was low.”
You need to remove the bottom hood (6 screws battery hood and another six screws for bottom DMM hood). Then you can see the beeper on the opposite side of display. You need only add some resistor (47-56R) in serial to the beeper. For fix you must remove the beeper – there are connected 3pin together and one pin separately. You must use campton tape between the PAD on PCB, and then connect it through resistor. That’s easy and fully working – of course the volume comes down a little, but I doesn’t matter and battery issue disappear.

Rated 2 out of 5 by CANUSER from Fluke 28II has LCD Issues The LCD screen on my 28II meter has never been great.
All of the photos on the website show the meter's numerical displays to be dark and crisp. However, in reality (at least with my meter), in DC Voltmeter mode, the V and DC in the upper right of the screen are barely visible. In AC Voltmeter mode, the V is barely visible, but the AC is dark and crisp. In Ohmmeter mode, the Ohm Symbol and the k for kiloohm are barely visible. The M for megaohm, however, is dark and crisp. The bar graph is dark and crisp, Manual is dark and crisp, but Auto is barely visible. In temperature mode, the degrees C is dark and crisp, but the degrees F is barely visible. The middle segments of the 7-segment numerical displays are often barely visible as well, and the other segments are variable in their display.

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.
