✅ Best Features of the FLUKE 179 Multimeter

  • True RMS Accuracy: Gives you correct AC readings, even for unusual electrical signals. This is perfect for things like motors and other factory equipment.
  • Built-in Temperature Feature: The FLUKE 179 can measure temperature. Just plug in the included 80BK Temperature Probe to get quick and easy readings. You won‘t need to carry another device just for temperature.
  • Manual and Automatic Settings: You can choose to set the meter yourself for full control, or let it set itself for faster readings. The FLUKE 179 works both ways.
  • Clear Digital Screen with Bar Graph: See your measurements clearly on the big screen that lights up. The bar graph helps you watch signals that are changing fast.
  • Min Max Average Recording: This lets you capture the highest, lowest, and average numbers over time. It‘s great for finding problems that happen only sometimes or sudden drops in power.
  • CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V Safety Rating: This meter is built to be safe even when working with high voltage.
  • Strong Case and Protective Holder: It‘s made to handle tough work conditions with a durable case that‘s easy to hold.

 

 

Why Pick the FLUKE 179 Multimeter?

The FLUKE 179 multimeter is a top choice because it‘s a good mix of strong performance, safety, and being easy to use. It‘s been tested by independent groups and is approved for use in tough places, from power plants to big buildings.

Electricians, technicians, and engineers trust the FLUKE 179 true RMS multimeter because it puts all the important testing functions into one reliable tool. It‘s great for finding problems with motors, electrical panels, and heating systems. Since it can measure temperature with its included probe, you don‘t need to bring a second tool for that.
