You might have noticed your Fluke multimeter feels heavier and bulkier than other meters. This size difference is not random, and it helps you appreciate what you are actually carrying.

I’ve noticed the screws on my Fluke multimeter thread directly into plastic, and it makes me worry about stripping them out over time.

Fluke uses plastic inserts to save weight and keep the tool durable for daily use, but … Read more
