I have used many fluke meters and own a 73 III. They are very reliable and accurate meters. Cannot say if i have used a 78, but i really like their meters.

Can't remember what model my fluke is, but I love that thing to death. You can't kill it.

In the labs I have worked in... Spectronic and HP oscilloscopes, and others... but Fluke, and only Fluke, meters. Fluke meters are the one constant wherever good meters are needed.

Our shop has a Fluke in every tool kit. We haul our Fluke around in all sorts of climates and situations. The 87 is an amazing piece of kit and does everything and more than we need. Plus they're are really durable and stand up to beating around in the truck tool box.

Here's something NOT to do with your Fluke meter....True story.....

I worked in our companies calibration lab. Guy brings in his Fluke one day, says it won't work. Turns out he brought it home the night before.....wanted to see the voltage output on the "shock" collar for his dog.........

So don't go trying to measure the voltage on a "shock" collar without a High Voltage Probe.....

And I for one will NEVER put a "shock collar" on my dog!
