Review on ⚡ Enhanced Amprobe AM-510 Multimeter: Ideal for Commercial and Residential Use, Featuring Non-Contact Voltage Detection by Shawn Trotter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fluke/Amprobe should honestly be ashamed.

This gauge comes with sensors that are frankly worse than the ones that come with the multimeter that Harbor Freight is giving away for free. The red probe didn't even go into the outlet. I literally couldn't slide it into the outlet. I've tried the wires on other test tools (notoriously good, including Fluke) and they couldn't even pass a continuity test. Without moving the probe tips, the signal changed, indicating broken connections or wires within wires. When I tried the Harbor Freight multimeter leads with this multimeter, they fitted. What a shock. NCV is very skeptical about this matter. DON'T TRUST HIM IF YOUR SAFETY CONCERNS. I couldn't find a pattern in his falls, but they happened too often to trust me to recognize them. The same cables sometimes found it without moving the meter. sometimes not. All in all, I wouldn't buy either of them again, which is causing me to reconsider my opinion on Fluke's entire Amprobe brand. Right now I would trust Zotek more. NB I am 80% sure this 'new' gauge was used, possibly a return. The straps are half closed while the bottom layer is pre-cut.

Pros
