What is the difference between Fluke 177 and 179?
The 177 is drop tested for up to 1 meter and has a lifetime warranty available to back it up. Fluke 179 is the top of the line offering in the popular 170 series, able to measure frequency, capacitance, and resistance as well as tempurature in both F and C, all on a 6000 count display for better resolution.
Is Fluke 179 Made in USA?
The Fluke 179 is a Made-in-the-USA model, and, because of this and the excellent specs, it is sold with a limited lifetime warranty. Just to clear that up as some Flukes are today put together in China; namely the 110 series and other, more budget-conscious models.

Is a Fluke Multimeter worth it?
A brand-name multimeter is absolutely worth it. Fluke multimeters are some of the most reliable out there. They respond faster than most cheap DMMs, and most of them have a analog bar-graph that tries to bridge the graph between analog and digital meters, and is better than a pure digital readout.
Is Fluke American made?
A wholly owned subsidiary of Fortive Corporation (NYSE: FTV), Fluke is a multi-national corporation headquartered in Everett, Washington, USA. Manufacturing centers are located in the USA, the UK, Asia and The Netherlands.
What does true RMS mean?
A true-RMS device (RMS = root mean square) is one of three tools that can measure alternating current (ac) or ac voltage: True-RMS digital multimeters (or clamp meter) Average-responding digital multimeter (or clamp meter)
What is true RMS?
The true RMS voltage of electrical utility gives about 110 volts alternating current (VAC). This is equivalent to about 155.6 volts peak (V-Pk). The true RMS level is defined as 0.707 of the peak level for a pure sine wave.
What is a true RMS multimeter?
A true root mean square (RMS) multimeter is a measurement device that measures the effective level of alternating current (AC) or voltage. Root mean square is a mathematical term that suggests effective level.
