Bro, I have used the original Fluke 87 for nearly 20 years, and have never had a single issue! With either doing electrical work, or electronics! Nothing but an outstanding meter, either way!

I love my 87v and this has to be most comprehensive video on the meter I've ever seen. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this, thanks for all the info.

i have several Fluke meters, that i used along the years as a service engineer. All the companies that I worked for only bougth Fluke. But a few months ago i´ve worked using a Hioki DT4282, and that multimeter is amazing, is beautiful, accurate, super fast, and intuitive to work to. Try it if you can.
Best regards.

Great video. When you send a meter to Fluke or a third party calibration lab, they don't actually calibrate it unless its needed. They test the meter's functions across all ranges to see if its still in specs. If it is, they certify it as calibrated despite not having the calibration procedure done.

That's why the meter only has the factory calibrarion recorded in memory but it's got multiple calibration stickers. Every time the meter was checked for accuracy, the factory calibration was still good so they certified it as calibrated and slapped a new sticker on it.

This was a nice multimeter from Fluke, and I still have mine working and the leads that came with it are still fine. Great video.

[MrDoneboy]

You are so right, Eddie...About the test leads that Fluke supplys, with their meters.I buy the heavy duty leads, with the grey parts, next to the contact points!

Awesome video and WOW one of the best explanation of the Fluke Meter I have seen

my first DMM was the Fluke 77 I bought it for our school system in 1986, One day I climbed 2 stores up to the roof of one of my schools and I had tried to clip my meter to my belt only to have it fall to the concrete below which I was sure was the end of I picked up it's poor sturdy body and turned it on and was greeted to a dead meter so I got back to the shop and opened it up and its battery lead had popped off when I reconnected it I fired right up and I have been hooked on Flukes ever since. So my every day driver now is a Fluke 187 which I got for $73 dollars off eBay and I love that meter .

An 87V & Brymen 869s are my daily drivers! They complement each other extremely well.

One cleaning tip... for skanky meter boots; remove from the meter, remove the tilt stand (or anything else 'catchy) & run in the washing machine along with a couple loads of work clothes. They won't come out perfect, but will leave a smile on your face.

As always, use common sense & good judgment. YMMV.

New subscriber, thumbs up, Thanks!

Cool meters and gadgets. Looks like you have a new toy for almost every day of the year.
Merry Christmas.

2:50 Correct, on the 87 III the alternative functions are printed right on the battery cover.

[alans.]

Thank you, great video.
A couple corrections,
The 88, like the 83, is also not true RMS.
And, The original 87 didn't replace the 8060. Fluke still made the 8060 and 8062 up until about 1997-ish. The last years of the 8060 even had a CAT rating on them. Fluke dropped them about the time the 87iii and the redesigned 70 series was released.

Fluke most precious calibrated Industrial grade measuring instrument!
Thank you for sharing expensive experience 💖💝

[coceth]

The standard issue meter at my work. Thanks for the demo of the special features.

[WalterShore]

I have been a long-time Fluke 87 user. I really enjoyed this video. I had forgotten some of these hidden features.

I recently discovered your channel. Keep up the good work. Because of you, I have discovered Kiaweets. I would love to know what country they are from.

[Dextermorga]

I have Fluke 87V and 289. Both meters are amazing. Please do not forget both have a different purpose

[waynepowell]

Great content & info.Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with the rest of us. I am a long time 88 owner and looked to go to the 87V Max. I hope this meter will serve me as well as my loyal 88 has done. I appreciate your insights and tips & tricks. Stay safe.

[MatthewDavidWaggener]

Excellent! Thank you so much. I will your posts and continue to learn.

[mariusz]

I heave multimeter 112 old series also have a Fluke T2WR tester, it is old but still serves me well and never lets me down at work 😊

[Know-Way]

My 87 was stolen some years ago and I replaced it with a 189. Great meter and I've used most all of the functions on it, but I'm still waiting for the day I need to measure millisiemens. 😆
Great review, thanks for the tip on the zebra strips.
