Fluke - 2718166 179/EDA2 6 Piece Industrial Electronics Multimeter Combo Kit

I am trying to do more of my own repairs and need a tester. I have tried researching for a good multimeter, that would last, and be accurate. For the money, I thought this would be a great all around pick, even if it is a more professional, than I require.

The package arrived with everything thing in it. Works as expected.

Love it! Fluke is the best for a reason.Picking which one you need for your task can be tricky, but this one does everything I need and more. Tough reliable, tested in the field. Leads work great, case fits nice. I will be adding more, just can’t beat the fluke. If you think it has too many features, look into the 117 or the 101. Don’t kid yourself, it makes a difference, just buy the fluke.

As a lifetime electronics tech, I've always used a Fluke meter over the years. I purchased this one simply to replace my old, worn out Fluke 77. I'm using it all the time and enjoy the additional capabilities is has to offer. Thanks so much!!!

I needed a professional meter since I am a truck tech and use my meter always and really like all the options this meter has like back lighting and a magnet that allows you to hang the meter anywhere you are working so you can see the readings easily especially when your under a truck testing resistance on fuel sending units and need three hands to do your job. I recommend this meter to true techs who work in the field diagnosing electrical problems.

This thing is awesome. I got this as more of a hobbyist tool, so keep that in mind. It comes with some really nice probes. The clamps are great for, well, clamping, and the needle tip probes can get into pretty small spaces if you're needing to probe surface mount components. Also the carrying case is cool, nothing special, fairly lightweight and thin material, but better than nothing.

I've used a variety of Fluke DMMs and after years of hands-on evaluation of others' units, I decided on the 179 with the EDA2 kit. This unit seems perfectly designed for electronics technicians and engineers, particularly those doing board bring-up and debugging new hardware. While many other DMMs have overlapping features, the 179 has all of the features that I regularly use and then some more. The EDA2 kit is essential for those working with ultra small SMT components. Imagine trying to get a standard probe on an 0201!

Just unpacked this product today. It is quite expensive so I’m only giving 4 starts for value, but Fluke has great equipment that lasts for lifetime so we will see...The only other things I have to mention is that I end up feeling like I had to buy a separate Fluke “T5-KIT Tester Accessory Starter Kit” To get the alligator clips and none automotive probes.Everything from the kit barely fits in the soft case in come in. This Chinese made soft nylon case is disappointing. The pictures for this product case are slightly misleading as it also shows an older style, seemingly higher quality case.
