fluke multimeter

[southcoastboile]

just been on the fluke website as im looking at getting a new multimeter, from lookinhg through the forums it seems the fluke 116 is the one to go for, they dont list that on there website now, i can get elswere but has anyone seen the fluke 233? looks quite handy. Dont know if thats the updated version of the 116, do you think i should go with the 116 still? please advise. Thanks!

Not sure about that model but I bought this kit recently:

Fluke T5-600-62-1AC Electricians Kit. Buy online or call

Includes a posh volt stick and an infrared thermometer. The meter incorporates fork type current measurement and you can fit a probe to the body so you can probe directly with the unit.

It's been very handy thus far.

I keep looking at this kit, FLUKE116322 by FLUKE - Buy or Repair at PLCCenter - PLCCenter.co.uk just a shame my 10 year old fluke 177 keeps on going.

That look like a very good package!

The 116 is still available. Are you sure you need functions like micro-amps and temperature? If so go for this.

If not, then the 114 has all the functions most of us will need and is a few quid cheaper.

Im happy to spend the money as long as i know im getting the best model. Theres quite a few to chose from, that new 233 i was on about looks good because you can take the head off the multimeter seperately from the body and it sends a wireless signal between the two so you wont struggle to read the screen when testing unlike normal multimeters, just don't know if its better than another model in our line of work. Just want the best one for boiler fault findig basicaly.

To be honest I think the 233 is a larger, heavier, gimmicky, waste of money.

More to go wrong! I can guarantee this will not last the pace of a soild 114,115 or 116 unit.

The 114 does more than 95% of us will need as far as meters go. If you want bit more go for the 116.

ur probably right, think i will go for the 116, hopefully i will get a good price from my stockist

That Kit does look good and i am sure it does the job. But whenever i see people using that make i ask my self this. Was the test ok or did they Fluke it ? Btw i might get that kit

What do you want it to do?

i got the Fluke H & V one that BG engineers use , I have since bought a TPI 270 which does a lot more than the fluke
