Fluke 117 Digital Multimeter LCD, 6000 counts CAT III 600 V

I worked in the water industry for 2 years as a spark. With my head buried in all kinds of motor starter panels and joint boxes. This was and still is my go to meter! Does everthing a professional spark needs! I bought a seperate pouch for this as the fluke version is a hilariously stupid price.The meter display is a bit annoying like a previous review mentioned as you do seem to need to look at it head on otherwise you can't see it. Easy to select what you need. Shuts off on its own if you leave it on. Can take some abuse. All in all an excellent meter! If you need a meter you can't go wrong.

This is an awesome bit of kit, works perfectly.The probes are far and above the quality of any cheaper meters, and the included carry case is very nice, if a little big.Overall, if you are after a feature packed multimeter that will last for years then this is perfect.

Use the next model up from this one at work but for for my home electronics projects and simple installs around the house I don't need to measure temperature, this meter is by far head and shoulders above the rest - Don't bother buying a terrible Chinese one, thinking you are saving a few quid because they almost always break after being dropped. You are guaranteed a quality product from Fluke which is why they are most commonly found in industry service.

As with “most” tools and equipment you get what you pay for, I personally managed to pick my 117 model up for the price of a 114 model just as I was looking to buy the 115 model, as a result I might have one or two features I won’t use but it’s better to see it and have the availability than to be looking for it and not have it 👍

Quality Meter, solid piece of kit.I used Fluke meters when working in lab, workshop and test bed environments many years ago. My interest in electronics had recently been re-sparkled so I took up building electronic kits as a hobby, so wanted a good quality, accurate and reliable meter.It had nice case that partially covers the meter, with a built in flip-out stand so you can stand the meter upright, and provides slots for the probe part of the leads to help keep them tidy when not in use.Leads supplied with meter seem a bit cheap. Bearing in mind the very high price point, I’d have expected better leads and a carry case for storage (I don’t want the meter’s screen getting scratched/damaged when I put it away).

Excellent multimeter from an undoubted company like Fluke. Perfect for everyday use by technicians, engineers, electricians etc.. Compact size makes it ideal to carry in small toolbox. Rugged exterior makes it very durable to work with on construction sites etc..

We already have a couple of Fluke test instruments that have served us really well over the years, so decied to go for the 117 model as we needed another Multimeter for a new product we are developing. I really like the 117 as it has the Autovolt setting and it has display illumination - very useful as we are testing out some prototypes in the back of 19" racks where thre isnt much light. Great peice of kit!

Definitely worth buying if you are fault finding electrical equipment and PCBs obviously not an MFT but extremely useful.
