Fluke 867B, good or obsolete?

(1/13) > >>

Wytnucls:
Just bought a Fluke 867B for a little under 300$. Would be keen to hear from people familiar with the meter, to find out if it is still a useful tool in a world of cheap oscilloscopes.

kripton2035:
I had one once ago.
found it too slow for everyday use
and the nicd batteries don't last long you must charge it too often
may be if you can hack it with a lithium pack ?
otherwise nice tool.

Wytnucls:
Yes, 8hrs isn't much. I will use it mostly on the bench. So, I hope it can be powered on with the charger connected.

Very nice meter, but aside from battery life, the problem I've had with these and several other Flukes is the size. It's the main reason the Fluke 117 is my most used meter.
