Review: Great Meter that Does All You Want - I love the Fluke brand. Dependable quality and accuracy for the trade. I have been using these meters for 20+ years and would trust no other meter brand for daily use. Of my prior 3 Fluke meters I would say this is my favorite. I purchased the carry case and the magnetic holder for this meter too but miss a feature of the 75 and 77 series of the hanging notch built into the back of the case. I use to use this notch to connect to drop ceiling grids. Now they have an optional magnetic strap but this only works of course on metal. I also like the fact that I don't need to use my O-scope to check frequencies anymore. My O-scope even while being a digital unit is much bigger and a hassle to carry around. This 179 model includes frequency measuring. PROS: - Quality Build - Highly Accurate - Protective Snug case - This model includes frequency measurements and temperature (to caiibrate your stove) - Large display that is easy to read - Touch hold - Auto off feature - Backlighted CONS: - I wish they weren't so pricey
Review: This FLUKE 179 multimeter is truly a highly precise and reliable tool - It has undergone calibration in a laboratory, which attests to its remarkable accuracy. With its various useful functionalities for electrical measurements, it's indeed a worthwhile investment. The inclusion of cables and a comprehensive user manual adds to its value. It boasts an elegant finish and is comfortable to carry around. However, I would like to invest in some form of protective case to ensure it doesn't get damaged during transport. Ideally, it would be great if such a case were included with the equipment, although I understand that might be asking for too much.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does all 179s only have white backlight?  If so, why is the advertised 179 here showing it to be green?**
A: It only has a white backlight.

**Q: What case works with this meter?  I bought the C-25 soft case and it is enormous.**
A: The Fluke C90 is a smaller soft case and will hold the179 & test leads.

**Q: Does this come with a thermocouple to take tempreture as well as the normal probes?**
A: It includes a pair of normal meter test leads and a 3 foot type K bead wire thermocouple sensor

**Q: is there a replacement rubber holster a can get for the 179?**
A: The shell of this meter is not designed to be replaced.  This is more of a professional meter compared to the lower Fluke series.  You can buy soft carry cases or larger hard latching cases for this unit but it doesn't share the same snap in shells like we use on typical field tech units.  

The 70 and 80 series have field tech holsters that can take abuse (drops, etc) but there is not one currently in production for the 179.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Value Digital Miltimeter
*by T***R on May 6, 2021*

The Fluke 179 is the Best overall value of any mid-priced digital multimeter. Accuracy is top-notch. It's easy to use. It's ruggedly built. It's a comfortable size. It has a big, bright, crisp display. It comes with a nice K-type thermocouple probe for accurate temperature readings, C or F. And, it uses a very easy to replace 9V battery. Unfortunately, this otherwise perfect package has two moderate shortcomings: 1st, Fluke packs a cheap, non-flexible set of test leads with it; and 2nd, the continuity beeper has very low volume and is difficult to hear even in a quiet environment. If you want a great all-around DMM, you can't go wrong with this Fluke.
