And 18X models use 4 AA cells. :-+ The 28X models are the successor of 18X which is discontinued. Used Fluke 189 which I scored while ago. Size comparisons between this popular Fluke models => 87V 189 287. BBB .. the Beauty, the Beast and the Brick. :-DD |

I've had my Fluke 87V/117 pair for going on 4 years now. They compliment each other nicely. I got the 117 when my old Craftsman died. I knew nothing about meters or electronics in general at the time except that Fluke was supposed to be good. Then I saw Dave's review of the 117 (the first EEVBlog video I ever watched) and heard him say that my shiny new meter was useless for electronics. "Well shit, what does this crazy Australian think is a good electronics meter?" I eventually found his 87V review, bought one, and subsequently fell into the electronics hobbyist rabbit hole from which I've yet to emerge. Thanks a lot, Dave. ;) |

there was an eBay guide to flukes. one of eBay regulars wrote it. if I recall right, series 1 and series 2 have the lightning bolt, series 3 is when they started listing cat rating. find that guide, very useful. |
