5.0 out of 5 stars Fluke dmm,safty test leads, and 80bk thermo probe only, September 19, 2008

By	Maria King (AR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is an excellent buy for the meter only, there are no extra's like the combo pack one's so for a first time buy, I would recommend one of the combo packs from $240 - $270. But if you already owned a fluke dmm and needed to replace it this is the perfect purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fluke, September 6, 2008

By	Doug Pozniak "Doug" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This meter is the replacement for my (( series. I ahd that meter for only ten years and it could not be repaired. The only thing wrong was the LED read out. Hopefully this repalcement will last longer than ten years if taken care of like I do with all me meters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Multimeter, March 27, 2009

By	Dave "davefromwash" (Kitsap County, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This has been a great meter. I've owned it for over a year now, and it performs flawlessly. I didn't think I'd use the temp probe, but I have used it a couple times now. I wouldn't consider any meter but Fluke. Also... Another person rated it as one star because of a shipping issue? Seems unfair.
