Review on FLUKE 17B+ Digital Multimeter with Temperature and Frequency | Including Carrying Case by Michael Boyd

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Utterly pathetic battery case design

If you ever need to change the batteries or fuse, good luck with the battery contact (+) on the left (look at the batteries with the top of the unit facing up ). Would have come back if I had noticed earlier. Fluke should be embarrassed that the lip of the spring tab could slip off the edge of the cavity and become dislodged. Then the (+) terminal of the battery must BEND the spring tab inward. Most probably won't notice and it will probably still work. but it's a pathetic design. It will take a lot of patience to put it back in the right position.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Minor issues
