Fluke 115 Digital Multimeter, Measures AC/DC Voltage To 600 V & Current to 10 A, Measures Resistance, Continuity, Frequency & Capacitance, Includes Battery, Holster & 4mm PVC-Insulated Test Lead

This multimeter is amazing! Very accurate battery life is like forever! Display is nice and crisp, easy to use, it’s not very heavy either.

Awesome meter

I'm a retired avionics engineer but these days I repair vintage audio components for customers or for resale out of my home shop. This Fluke replaced a cheaper meter that quit measuring capacitance. If I was still working on aircraft systems, this Fluke 115 would still be a reliable test instrument for 90% of needed applications, but it definitely meets or exceeds the needs of an audio technician or engineer. I DO wish it had the capability to measure higher AC/DC voltages than the rated limit of 600V, but I have a need for a high voltage probe anyway. I'll build one and get by for the times that I need to measure voltages in excess of that limit, but it's not a big deal at all. Having said all of that, this is an electronic technician's meter, NOT an electrician's meter. This meter will NOT measure the low microvolts produced by a thermocouple in a HVAC work environment and it does NOT have the capability of making non-contact AC verification as is standard in other Fluke meters that are designed to be more suitable in commercial electrical work. If you're unsure of the correct meter for your application, go to the Fluke website for clarification. Other than that, this is a Fluke tool - built to last and perform perfectly day after day for the work environment that it was designed for. Can't go wrong with a Fluke meter.

I have a lot of quality test equipment, from Klein mostly. However as far back as I can remember I always wanted a Fluke DVM, and now I have one and love it. Of particular interest to me is the fact that when you set for continuity it will also detect diodes but with those it gives one short beep, while a full short gives you a beep until you move it off that location. Great for tracing out PCBoards.

Replacing two ancient analog multimeters for DIY electrical & auto work. Probably overkill for my needs but Fluke's reputation for high quality instruments for professionals I work with was my excuse for the splurge. Highly rated in many professional reviewers. Many of the under $50 and particularly those under $25 DMMs have questionable overload protection for high voltage & high current spikes. Overload protection is not so important for most electronics uses, but I will use mine more for 120V & 240V services which can be lethal and I am not an electrical engineer or electrician.Some of the Amazon reviews complain the 115 does not measure millivolts. It does measure down to 1 mVDC via the autoranging feature, it justdoesn't have a separate setting for mV. It does not measure micro volts. A few other reviewers complain about low contrast, glare and viewing angle of the display. I find it very easily readable in most lighting conditions from most angles. If I go looking for it, I can finds some glare from a light source just to the side or my head but in 95% of the positions I tried, there was no glare at all. If the room lighting is low, the backlight makes the readings easily readable. It is unreadable from a lower angle from the top, but easily readable from lower angles to the side and from the bottom. If you can't read it, move it.Very high build quality, this meter will outlive me, yellow rubber holster will help when it is inevitably dropped. Excellent lead connections, shielded for safety, the unshielded old style connectors on my ancient analog meters were always working loose & erratic so I spent as much time troubleshooting my meter as my project.Some of the description on the Amazon page is inaccurate. My model 115 arrived with a pair of TL75 PVC plastic leads, the Amazon page states the leads are the more flexible silicone rubber ones, this is NOT true. Check out fluke.com for a trustworthy description of the features, specs and what's-in-the-box for this meter. Meter came exactly as described on fluke.com. 9V battery IS required and IS included (a quality name brand Energizer, not a never heard of brand). Meter is made in China but there is nothing of questionable build quality I (or many professional reviewers) can find.
