Lorenzo, you can’t say enough good things about FLUKE products or the FLUKE 87V , man you’re absolutely correct. Thanks for stopping by, come back anytime. Be safe.

Welcome back, man you’re very knowledgeable about test instruments. And yes I do have a pretty decent collection of ELECTRICIAN TOOLS , hand tools and testing equipment. I like being prepared for just about anything, I’m sure you know what I mean. But you’re correct the FLUKE 87V is built like a nuclear fallout shelter SOLID AS A ROCK. Thanks again for your input I enjoy talking tools with you, until next time take care.

You’re welcome, and thank you for your sincere appreciation and sharing it 👍🏽🇺🇸

Figgy the Electrical Engineer - David Figueroa I appreciate the compliment and your commentary, feel free to stop by anytime. Until the next overview . . . Later.

The Fluke 87V would be the Fluke 114 older brother. The 114 is a solid multimeter built to last 💪💪. Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe and click the thumbs up 👍🏿 to help support the channel. 💪

The Electricians Tool Channel yep yes I’ve just subscribed .

Thank you for your support, you won’t regret it. I guarantee it 💪💪👍🏿

The Electricians Tool Channel thank you I know I’ve made a good move 🤙

You’re very welcome 😀

Thank you for watching and sharing 👍🏽

Thank you sir, and welcome back if you wish you should check out my KZfaq channel ( THE ELECTRICIANS TOOL CHANNEL ) I’m sure you’ll find something interesting.

I totally, totally agree 👍🏼

Hello Al there’s not much difference between the two except the 87v Max May have one or two features more that you don’t even use . The old 87v is still a powerhouse and will supply all your needs. Keep in mind the 87v is an industrial Multimeter and if you’ll troubleshooting controllers, and circuits . . .etc 87v is your Multimeter. And if you’re considering expanding your farm with a lot of automation consider the FLUKE 289 or 287 Multimeter. I hope 🤞 this helps, take care.

@@TheElectriciansToolChannel thanks for the reply and explanation. I’ll check out the 287/289. Thanks again!

No problem Al, I like communicating with smart people. 🤔

Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Engineer, thank you for stopping by. Fluke test instruments have a very long track record of being superb. I’ve heard stories of the owners of Fluke test instruments damaging their unit on purpose because it wouldn’t die just to have an excuse to purchase another Fluke instrument. Now that’s only if you properly use and take care of your device. Also I stand corrected, there are times when you’re not as good as your tools if your tools are reliable. But if you purchase junk then the quality of your work will be junk... most of the time. Be safe out there Figgy.

I agree it’s built like a military tank💪💪

@@TheElectriciansToolChannel hahahaha exactly these FLUKE are to die the same, what good instruments without debt, thank you very much engineer, greetings from Mexico, ... 🎼🔧💯

Thank you Alberto for watching. Stay tuned there’s more great videos to come.👍🏿

@@TheElectriciansToolChannel exelente mi amigó, exelent My friend,..

Thank you Jack, you’re welcome to come back anytime.

Hi John, the screen protector was sized and installed by the FLUKE Corporation.

Thank you for the prompt reply. In that case, is it fair to say the screen protector you are using is the stock screen protective film that comes with every new Fluke meter? If so, I would like to install a more substantial protector, like those from Upscreen or Brotect. Upscreen makes one for the higher end Fluke 287/289. I have not found a factory sized screen protector for the Fluke 87V yet. Thank you for all your instructive videos.

Of course, I recently purchased a brand new FLUKE 1587 FC and the screen protector came off and no matter how much I tried to get it to stay on it wouldn’t. So I’m gonna take it to BEST BUY ( GEEK SQUAD ) to have a screen protector installed on all my most expensive meters.

No sir it didn’t.

In the future...

Hey farmall450! Do you like the multimeter? I'm looking at it atm :)

I couldn’t agree more the Fluke 87V is one heck of a multimeter. And its not cheap, I purchased the one in the video over 10 years ago and it cost me almost $400 U.S. Dollars. But the 87V is only one of many excellent multimeters Fluke make. The Fluke 289 is over ten years old and I seen the price as high as $700. U.S.Dollars.

@@TheElectriciansToolChannel I also have the 87V and 289. The prices are still high, but that is ok. You get the maximum on multimeter for a low price for that quality. I only use them on my bench. For more exact measuring i use a Rohde&Schwarz HMC8012.

When you turn the multimeter on it automatically default to millivolt mode. Not to mention this multimeter is a very high quality instrument and very sensitive to EMF ( electrical magnetic field ) that’s near the multimeter also coming from your body that causes the instrument to fluctuate.👍🏽

Thank you very much for explaining that to me I thought something was wrong with it I just bought one for a good price but the other multimeter I have it doesn't jump around but now I know thanks again,👍

I’ve been wondering about the Megger AVO35 multimeter also. I bet it’s a good quality multimeter. Now the Amprobe AMB45 Insulation Tester it looks like it’ll get the job done ✅ .

Thanks, that megger is very impressive from what I read. I have the fluke 1520 insulation tester. Looking for something a little smaller. That klein et600 just may be the ticket. I'm hvac so I'm mostly spot check motors. I was looking into the amprobe tester. I don't need a fluke in that area. Thanks!

The Klein ET600, before I purchased it I was skeptical 🤨. But after I received it, used it, and compared it to others in its class the Klein ET600 was BETTER THAN I IMAGINED !!!💪💪💪

That klein very well may be their best meter. If it's OK, can I get your email. I would like to share information with you. My email: wkpruden@gmail.com It's always good thing to find guys like yourself in the trades.

You bet👍🏼

I don’t mean to sound bias, but I’ll buy 🇺🇸 as much as I can. I’m speaking from my personal experiences.

@@TheElectriciansToolChannel I can understand why! I own a fender telecaster guitar American made and I'm almost as proud as a real American but the multimeter for €650 is I must admit overkill for what I'm doing currently but its American made and I plan to do more advanced stuff in the future. Right now I have a brehmen235 that Is allright but the kick stand broke. I usually really take a look at everything available but for multimeters I think flukes high models might be the best choise still even though the high price. Your video was very helpful btw. Do all the Fluke meters have a beep in diode mode? Maybe a stupid question xD

@@AA-xm7rt I’m not sure about the beep. But it’s best to have a meter with more than have a meter with not enough. I could say that if you purchase a fluke especially the higher class models it’ll last you a lifetime.

@@TheElectriciansToolChannel thanks so much for the video and your comments I'm convinced! I shall sub to you also!

@AA-xm7rt thanks for your support of the channel 👍🏽

Looking back, no it didn’t come with those test leads. The test leads were the much cheaper fluke test leads, I don’t know the model. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

I bought 87V and already expecting the ordinary TL75 test leads, but when I open the box it comes with that TL175. 😁

Great minds do think alike. Thanks for posting.

Thanks

You’re absolutely right, I wasn’t referring to making low voltage amp measurements. The point I was making is you want to use a Multimeter to measure high current inside of an electrical distribution panel or make measurements of any current 10 amp or above. I was speaking to electricians not technicians when I made that statement.

This multimeter is tested and proved to be a true BEAST in the field to this very day. It has a lot of features and 10 amps isn’t a lot because a multimeter’s amperage measurement is mainly used for electronic circuits. There aren’t any multimeters on the market being sold today that measures higher than 10 amps. If you need to measure anything more than 10 amps then I suggest you use a clamp meter ( That’s Just My Opinion ). Thanks for watching 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💪💪💪

Toy you say? The Fluke 87 series has been the industry standard multimeter for over 30 years.
