Hi Bill, this is a great review and I'm going to get myself a T6-1000 for the field sense and kilo ohms. A note on using test leads, I was taught to always connect the earth or neutral first and then the hot wire to get a reading. Respect to your channel, I'm subscribing.

@craigdraper8325 3 жыл бұрын

I bought this meter a year and a half ago, ( may2019 ), and had trouble convincing my boss that it was an upgrade to the T-5 and worth the investment. I lost that job and didnt use the meter untill about a month and a half ago when i became employed again. Its easy to use, compact, and is fabulous for troubleshooting. at my new job, a non-contact voltage tester and my T-6 is all i use and i am very happy with it.

@rickytrevino8281 Жыл бұрын

Why did you have to convince your boss that it was worth the investment? If you want the little extra feature then buy it yourself, but if I had to buy it for someone else then no its not worth the investment when the t5 can read voltage, current, and resistance just as fine

Do you have to touch a ground with your other hand? How does the ground contact work if your finger is on it but your body isn’t grounded like if you have rubber boots on?

I had one. Didn’t like the field sense. Barely worked. And times that it’s useful it’s hard to get it in tight spaces. Overall good meter though for basics and residential. I Like the probe holder. Also quality leads on it. But for commercial/industrial get something with a bigger amprobe and capacitance. Or get a second meter.

how do you get yours to show volts and amps on the field sense? mine only shows one not both?

@@SparkyChannel Amazing is definitely accurate. Anytime you can get simultaneous measurements on the same screen from same meter is great. And the safety factor for voltage without exposed contact points is certainly a plus.

Question what is the best fluke multimeter for an Electrician? If I buy the Fluke 87-V max would that be a bad choice?

Good morning, I would love to see the video you published not long ago about the fluke meter that had the FC feature and logging capability that you were demonstrating in your kitchen if it hasn't ended up lost in cyberspace... Maybe it was a 376 model? Love your videos!

@SparkyChannel 4 жыл бұрын

Good morning Scott! I have 2 Fluke FC meters, the 289 which is a larger bench style meter that is extremely accurate and the 902FC which is a HVAC clamp meter, very portable, and you can get graphs on your cell phone. Which one are you most interested in? I have all those videos on my hard drive. You might also remember by what kitchen appliance I was testing. I think my fav was the one where I was broiling a rib eye steak in a toaster oven and following the amp usage because it was delicious! LOL! Let me know and I'll get it back up.

@playnationtoday 4 жыл бұрын

Sparky Channel one thing I’m interested in being able to do is measure DC current. In addition to the typical electrician functions that I normally use I play around with solar, also it would be nice to troubleshoot some of the LED tape lighting that I’ve been installing recently. Thanks!

@Froggability 3 жыл бұрын

I presume it measures Line Voltage rather than phase voltage? And is it affected by extra thick insulation?

@SparkyChannel 3 жыл бұрын

You're correct on both.

@DixonMasterElectric 3 жыл бұрын

The only thig about field sense is that when you are troubleshooting it doesnt tell you there is a bad neutral if that was the case thats why i dont use hot sticks you may have voltage but there is no neutral.

@iceinyourveins-rn7em 2 ай бұрын

Come on guy, a bad neutral? Thats where the experience comes in to play. No meter will ever be able to find the exact trouble spot. That would take the fun out of trouble shooting

I can’t wait to get t6-1000, not the pro version. The Pro version is missing a ground plate. The ground plate is a must-have feature, which most people do not realize why 🤦‍♂️
