| Auggie:
Is there much difference between the fluke 85 III and the fluke 87? |
| DJPhil:
You can look here to compare the 83, 85, and 87 three series flukes. The newer 87s will be five series (87-V as opposed to 87-III), and you can find the detailed specs for them here. (Edit: corrected typo) |

I was thinking about getting one of the 87 meters but not sure which one to get. The biggest consideration for me is cost and from what I can tell I could get a meter from $80 to $300 depending on the version and if it new or used. Does anybody have thoughts about getting a used vs. new meter and have people had luck getting these on ebay? What do you get with the lifetime warranty from Fluke? |
