I'm still confused at to whether its made by a fluke subsidery or if they are dsaying that its the same as a fluke 17B
It's very clear it's not a Fluke, that's why they add the word "compare" in the title.
It's a classic eBay marketing trick, you sell a rip-off product and put the real products name in the title bar so it shows up on searches.
You see terms "like fluke" and "compare fluke" all the time.
This is a classic el-cheapo meter. Dead give-aways are:
a) The price
b) Transistor tester (a classic feature found only on the cheapest meters)
c) The cheap folded paper manual
d) The classic Fluke shape and appearance. Enough to look similar, not enough to get sued.
I'd be surprised if it actually meets it's CAT-II 1000V rating.
Show us some inside pics when you get it!
It would actually be good to do a blog on what the best el-cheapo meter you can get for under $50, but the damn things last such a short time on the market the review is obsolete by the time it's done!
