Fluke 88V Deluxe Automotive Multimeter, Troubleshoot Problems on Conventional and Hybrid Vehicles, Measures Pulse Width, and Duty Cycle

Bought in 2017 and updated to version 11 main board due to GSM sensitivity. Calibrated twice by Fluke. Has been my go to mutimeter for mechanics and solar.

I have been an auto mechanic for the last 25 years. My last Fluke 88 had finally been acting up to the point that it was annoying. I called them and read off my serial number and the rep told me it was purchased in 1990 and that parts for this meter are no longer avail. I never even hesitated to buy a new one. 22 yrs old! Think about that........used in one of the harshest enviroments, humidity, heat, cold, snow, etc and it lasted 22yrs. Kudos to Fluke! What a product!

I am a truck tecnician and my primary responsibilities are diagnostics. As a professional I need a meter that is both reliable and durable. The Fluke 88V meets both of those requirements. I have worked in the industry for 40 years and have used several other name brand equipment but none compare with my Fluke. The meter is also very versitile, it not only performs basic tests, it also will read Hertz, temperature and pressure and vacuum readings. I would highly reccommend this meter to anyone in the automotive industry that needs an excellent diagnostic tool.

I received the 88V for Christmas and it was a gift for my participation in an automotive repair internship. Using the meter for a few tasks really showed me the many scientific features– for example the water temperature of the swimming pool was taken to compare the results with a weather service. Verifying good electrical grounds on vehicle components, and checking the resistance of installed automotive wiring makes diagnosing and installing more accurate. Protecting the meter seems easy with the yellow bumper case. There are many accessories that can be used like the temperature reading probes, direct current reading meter clamp, alligator clamp probes, thin-wire precision probes and probes that can be inserted into the wire by needling the probe-needle through the wires conduit. Personally, the meter has been used only a few times but it has performed very well. The jobs that the meter was used for are okay. The display is large and easy to read.

Purchased my fluke a year ago or so after constantly having errors in readings on my other automotive tool brand meter. A false reading can really screw you up when diagnosing critical voltage systems in the automotive industry. I love the trust I have with this meter. The illuminated screen helps in tight spots.

I have several other multimeters that use in different locations. I keep the Fluke at my main job where I diagnose cars electrical and computer problems. I have an Actron and a Blue Point one at home and a Radio Shack one at my part time job where I also diagnose electrical and computer issues. The Fluke is easily the highest quality meter and you can feel the difference just by turning it on. It has all the features I need plus a couple of nice features like back lighting. My Blue Point meter may actually be made by Fluke for them but is not the same quality as the original Fluke. The accessories that come with it will get you started and you can add on from there. I use my Fluke meter everyday and it performs flawlessly every time. The speed is much better than the other meters by far which goes a long way when you are testing a ECM connection for different voltages or resistances.

I have had my 88v for about 10 years now. It's been dropped from ladders, gone thru sitting in extreme heat of Nevada sun to transmitter towers on mountains 10000' middle of winter.... It's been exposed to over current and voltage on resistance setting and it still holds accurate readings with the only issue I've ever had is when moisture got into the test lead section. Causing it to think it was in current test. Plus this meter has just about any measurement one could ever need to make except inductance. If it had that it would be the near perfect meter.

This is the best multimeter that I have ever used. I have been in the automotive industry for 25 years. I have worked everywhere from independent service shops to dealerships to automotive manufacturers. I have used many different types of DMMs none can compare with the fluke 88. It is easy to use, nice large read out. Perfect for all automotive test. I have owned this one for 20 years

i was extremely impressed with the fluke over all the meters i have used in class. it is the most accurate and flawless meter. it is absolutely worth every penny.

The item described vs the item I got was two different. I didnt received leads, case, inductive and heat probed, needles, etc. I have just received just the DVOM with two leads in a carton box. I have sent 3 emails and so far no response. It was described, pictured and advertised as deluxe but I have received just the cut down version for a full price.
