How does the made in China Fluke 117 Electricians Multimeter stack up?
How does the made in China Fluke 117 Electricians Multimeter stack up?
This was an amazing review. If you do a quick Google search, the 117 is many people's #1 choice. But, you pointed out several reasons why I wouldn't buy this for electronics. I was ready to jump until this fantastic review. Now, I have to find out what you think is the #1 meter for electronics work. Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for your view!
No hablo ingles pero veo q ese multimetro tiene la tarjeta electrónica igual a la del multimetro de estados unidos yo tengo uno y dice q es hecho en malasia y tuve un 117 q era el americano y las tarjetas son las mismas

😀👍🏿Good Stuff,GreatTips
Thank you Dave. Once again, a great review. I was looking for this comparison. You made it clear for my buying choice between pricy 87v and mid range 117. I'm an Electronics professional. Now, after having seen your review, I can confidently go with 87v…..Thanks for helping me!
Long live!!
Dave, one of the reviewers has demonstrated lately that this meter has an issue with measuring voltage below 20 mV and 20 mA despite the claim that it has beter resolution. It shows 22, 21 and 20mV but does not show 19, 18 mV and less. Have you noticed such problem?
Hello my knowledgeable friend (I really enjoy your channel). I am looking for a multimeter with no bells and whistles (no capacitance or temperature stuff) just a very good precision (many digits) in the milliamp and millivolt range. My budget is around $200 CA, What do you recommend. Thanks so much
I have the 87v max and the 117, both are very useful the 117 is the one in my everyday bag .
9V battery?! Fluke, you're joking!
I like it!
👍👍
This is my daily use multimeter around the home lab. I don't use my 87 much or my 289 much except turning it on periodically to charge the supercap. Not sure I'd buy the 289 again.
I forgot about the Voltalert and never read the back so every day's a school day, even after owning it 13 years..
This flat ceramic I think I can change it but I don't know if I'll find the part here in Brazil (Curitiba). So I'm in doubt about whether to be able to use the high voltage measurement? The other functions ok.
hello..good morning/afternoon/evening. My fluke 117 broke flat ceramic resistor, now whenever I use "hi detct voltage dont touch", it beeps and doesn't stop (I need to change to lol) All other functions ok. resistance is part of the circuit that measures high voltage?
What would be the comparable Fluke meter for Electronics use with milliamps?
ing. gracias por su aporte! una pregunta! yo estoy estudiando electrotecnia! que equipo me recomienda comprar para mi uso en la carrera y en lo profesional?
I see this video and i have a question.
In time 2':52" some tracks do not have solder mask. Now my question is why? Is there a general rule for this?
Thanks a lot.
Its crazy how he says "its the cheapeast " and here, in Brazil, its the most expansive one "regular people" can afford (still 2021) lol. We still have to pay the invoice in many installments. Be clear that most here, specially electricians wouldn't be able to afford it. I would say poor people are more regular in here than the real "regular" considered as middle class. Most peoples dream is to be able to buy some well worn used meter from some guy from a rich country (yeah, the so called first world are rich countries to us) and not be taxed 200% over product + shipping price (the so called Brazil Cost). Its even crazier to think that there are many countries poorer than Brazil, like our brothers from Moçambique.
It doesn't have milliamp or micro amp capacity. You just saved me 200 dollars.
This meter, without microamps, it's a bit useless for electronics. And for use with current meters in home/bussiness I prefer use a clamp and not a standar meter like this.
I wish I could afford the meter…
