--- Quote from: zaoka on September 19, 2024, 02:57:57 am ---I used to fix TVs for years, old Fluke 12 is unbeatable and here is why, if you measure diodes or resistance and there is a voltage present from charged capacitors this meters automatically switches to low impendance mode and discharge capacitor and switches back to measure diodes or resistance, also shows you voltage while discharging... this feature speeds up troubleshooting a lot. I used to have Fluke 87V and few others but once you get familiar to Fluke 12 you wont touch other meter for that purpose. The meter we got was 1996, its still used by the shop as every day meter, the only thing they replaced was that buttons, other than that meter is still spot on accurate.. --- End quote --- Are you referring to the 12 or 12B? |

--- Quote from: J-R on September 19, 2024, 04:40:29 am ---Clearly many sellers inflate their shipping prices via shipping calculator manipulation, pocketing the difference. Something like this is clearly going on if Batronix charges around 50 Euro for a small DMM while Welectron is only about 10 Euro. For a typical bench DMM, Batronix wants 80 Euro while Welectron is only 19.90 Euro. --- End quote --- I never had that happen. Not even with some random sources.. Who did that to you? Just to let you know, some vendors have specific (very good) rates with certain logistics companies, but only for some destinations. For instance TME will send any package less that15 kg to me for flat rate of 8,9€. Some others will send me less than 2kg for 10/20€ using same logistics company. Or for 10kg for 15/40€ (depending on speed). Because TME ships more goods to my country in a day than smaller companies in a year... In fact I cannot get such a price as TME has, from that shipping company. |

I had a Fluke 12 I used at work in the late 80's. It works well for me. Recently I got a Fluke 113 and I thought it would work about the same as the Fluke 12 but no. it's quite confusing when measuring low voltage. |

It's not designed for low voltages or delicate work, eg. it only has Low-Z input (3k \$\Omega\$). |
