Design Consistency
I purchased my Fluke 177 DMM over ten years ago and it still functions properly. I just purchased this new one for my sister, and it looks and functions exactly the same. Its nice to see that Fluke has avoided the cosmetic re-design fetish that plagues so many other manufacturers -- now I won't need to learn how to use the new DMM before I teach her how to use it.

Great as always
This is my second Fluke and just like my first one it’s great. Only reason I bought this one was because my other Fluke screen is getting hard to read now that’s it’s 15 plus years old other than that it still works great as a backup.

A good meter
I've used this everyday for 1-1/2 years and it definitely gets the job done for commercial electrical / fire alarm installations. I got it calibrated at 12 months to keep it accurate. The only features I wish it would have are 10,000 counts instead of 6,000 counts, Low-Z (stray voltage adaptor is a hassle), especially since more electronics are being incorporated into t...

Portable and Functional
I purchased 2 Fluke 177's for our shop at work. They are light weight, portable, and accurate. They are rugged enough to stand up to the demands of our heavy industrial facility. It is nice to see a high quality product with a quality warranty still available in a world of disposable tools.

Especially useful is the "hz" function
This is a DVM that I use at work (quite a bit).
Besides the typical uses for it (DC voltage and Current), I also work on developing blower and the "hz" function is extremely useful for monitoring the tachometer output (square wave function, freq corresponds to blower rpm)

Engineer's Dream
I bought the 177 about 1.5 years ago at the beginning of my sophomore year in an electrical engineering program, let me tell you, this thing has never missed a beat and is always on the money. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality meter. The only thing I would change is to add a temperature setting but that is addressed in the 179, it wasn’t ...

Does the Job!
This multimeter is robust and does the job! Its ease of use and big display make it a breeze to use. We have about 6 of these at our facility. Hasn't died on us yet.

Great multimeter!
Fluke 117 is a very precise and reliable multimeter. Back-lit large display is easy to read even in dark test areas and the analog bar graph adds accuracy when monitoring measurement changes. VoltAlert - a non-contact voltage detection feature is very helpful. Ergonomic design allows for one handed operation. A must have for every electrician or home owner. Also, great ...

My Go To meter!
I purchased this meter several months ago and it's great. I really like the capabilities of the instrument especially with the size, weight and feel in your hand.
I also have a Fluke 87V Electricians Kit for additional capabilities or when a second is meter needed.
But the 177 goes with me into a site and is the first reached for everyday use around my shop.

Durable and accurate meter
I purchased this Fluke 177 for my personal use due to working with Fluke meters in my workplace. I am an electrician and I work in electrical maintenance and I know how well made a Fluke meter is. My meter is used for many things ranging from troubleshooting basic electronics, house wiring, lighting, and working on RVs. I am very pleased with it. I always try to be ...

Excellent product. Now complaints, no downsides
Fluke 177 purchased for light industrial work. It is solid, stable on the standup bass, and reads easily. No downside to this intrument as long as you don't need temperature. If that's the case get the 179.
