I guess Electro Detective was saying, that the screw bonded e.g. "spot welded" with the screw post, thus needing excessive (in regard to pure stick/slip friction between metal and plastic) force to loosen the connection.

Perfect guess :clap:
I would bet with confidence that many Fluke owners here would find the same crack fiasco in one form or another in their meters too
The cracks will happen no matter how careful you are unscrewing, screwing, pre-lubing, heating, praying yours came from Wednesday batch, whatever...
The issue is in the too -hard basket- even for genies, wizards, witches and the horned dude below >:D
Fluke need to supply all owners with updated front covers that have proper CAT containment metal inserts and screw kits
Otherwise the hyped Fluke will blow out just as fast as any $6.99 Hung Too Lo meter in the hands of a DIYtard
My money is on the $6.99 HTL meter posts to hold up better during The BIG BANG ;D

Anybody want a blue one? :popcorn:

This one appears to have no serial number on the back. Is it one of the pre-production units? :-//

Edit: The pixels where the serial number should be are slightly discolored. I wonder if the seller photoshopped it.

This one is a very late model, note how you have to remove the lower case screw to access the battery compartment.

What? I have been cheated again! The all-in-one DevilDriver(TM) which I aquired at the price of one puny human soul will not handle this? Good it wasn't mine - succubus took it long ago - or the MI complex.

Too late, it's gone!
