For reference, the HVAC labeling relates to the presence of TrueRMS functionality (a feature sometimes useful in other contexts besides HVAC troubleshooting).

Some of the cost savings here comes because, rather than being a Made in USA tool with a lifetime warranty, this Fluke meter in Made in China and has "only' a 3 year warranty. Of course, you're still getting the stable, safe design which has made Fluke the standard for so many industries/companies.

Good luck!

The minimum model for Made in the USA lifetime warranty these days with Fluke is the 3000 series.

Good luck!

Cool. Wish this unit wasn't made in China though

Product info is contradictory about batteries. Does it use 2xAA or 1x9V? Not that it matters much in the end.

If it's a good meter.. it's a Fluke! marketing was not my strong suit.

It's one 9V. I replaced mine two days ago by coincidence.

Fixed my hvac. It pays itself off. Capacitor was almost dead. But the 2 pole circuit breaker was bad. Wouldn't have known without this bad boy.

Couldn't you have used any number of other multimeters for that though? Like one that costs a quarter of what this unit costs? What makes this unit worth the extra investment? (Honest question)

Good thing you didn't buy a Fluke 789 for this task.

This meter is overkill for 99.9% of home owners. It is a good price compared to normal, but this is not really designed for the home user.

This is a great price for a fluke true rms. I have a 179 that was literally run over by a truck and it still works (although it looks like it was run over by a truck.

75% of people will be perfectly served by a $40 no-name multimeter, but if you want something that will really last, or is high enough quality to use on dangerous currents, this is it. My Dad has a Fluke from 1971 that is still accurate.

I just used a $15 trash meter to fix mine - turned out to be the contactor.

The problem is that none of my 3 cheap ones (a circa 1993 Radio Shack, a cheap Craftsman, and a Chinese no-name trash meter mentioned above) can measure microfarads so I can't reliably test a capacitor. Plus no safety features on any of them and the lit screen on the Fluke will definitely be helpful. Pulling the trigger on this Fluke, it's a little pricey but still a decent deal for this meter and I can save some space in the tool bag by getting rid of the other three if I can get past my packratism!

This is a good deal if you need the name recognition of a Fluke. However, out of all my meters, including 4 flukes my favorite is a Brymen Bm786. It has more features, is faster, has more resolution, and superior transient voltage protection.

I bought an INNOVA 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter for $20 from Amazon in 2015. I only use it occasionally 1 once probably, still works great. I haven't tested it's durability, but it seems fine for home/hobby use. I use Flukes at work so I can compare and it's fine. I don't feel like I'm using a vastly inferior product compared to the Fluke.

This.. I think you can check resistance to make sure the cap is working in some capacity (no pun intended), but without the ability to check microfarads I don't think other meters can make sure the cap itself has enough oomph.

On that note.. I don't see the mF setting on the Fluke screenshots for this particular model.. maybe I am missing something?
