Is this a real or fake Fluke multimeter?

I'll know after I've looked at three or four of them.

PS: A "battery tester" won't be any better because it doesn't know the load or the cutoff voltage of those devices - you'll have to measure three or four of them to figure it out just the same as a multimeter.

I don't know if 'single device' is a hard requirement here,

That's pretty much what the OP wrote verbatim. So rather than dismissing any discussion on that basis, why not just as "ok, but perhaps 2 devices would be better for you?". Instead you sure seem to be writing a lot to justify your imagined position for the OP and defend it agains any alternative view points, without actually checking back with the OP as to what they want.

Looks like most of us here see the point in using a single multimeter for these different tasks.

I'll also be using it to check fuses and contactors, troubleshooting control boxes, but I'll be using it for checking batteries and outlets, most of the time

If your going near mains id trust the flukes cat rating much more than an equivalent priced wonhunglo device

The OP originally merely asked whether a Fluke 101 is a genuine product.  I've never seen him state an explicit preference for having only one device.  I'm a bit taken aback at the resistance to my observation that a DMM with standard probes is awkward for probing US-style NEMA 5-15R sockets.  I've done a fair bit of this and it took me awhile to realize that there were better ways.  Seriously, for those of you in the US, try it both ways.

Then why not recommend a DMM that will actually do both things properly?  I did, in my first reply.
