Title: Can you replace the holster on a Fluke 175?
Post by: BeBuLamar on May 21, 2022, 11:10:39 am

I have a Fluke 175 which is still working fine but the integrated holster is torn and peeled off. Do you think the I can replace the holster without spending too much money? Well I just want to make it nice if I can without spending too much. I have more DMM than I need.

I couldn't see a way to do this on my old 179. You could try to buy and entire back enclosure...

Nah, the molded-on rubber can't be replaced separately. You have a buy a whole new case.

OK Thanks. The set of front and back cover cost over $100 on Ebay. So I decided to strip all the rubber away and use the meter naked.

Not very clean. I hope I will be able to remove it all later.
