Fluke leads
I am thinking of buying fluke leads for my Craftsman Pro meter, I was wondering would they fit?

Sorry, I can't help you out with that one. I have a FLuke and know what the leads look like. Maybe a pic of your Craftsman inputs would help.

Take your meter to an electrical supply dealer and check. That way you can be sure.

Danaher owns Fluke & Craftsman (and Tektronix & Snap-On, respectively to the tool manufacturers)

i don't doubt that Danaher owns all of those outfits, but they still probably make different products. Fluke aims for one market segment and Craftsman a different one.
Fluke has been big in the electronics industry for years. These are folks who use meters daily and often. They are willing to pay top buck -- just like the auto techs who go with Snap On.
Craftsman stuff is generally aimed at DIY -- and it's generally cheaper. Might be fine for less frequent use.
That's how things were when I retired in 06. If Danaher is cheapening any part of the Fluke line now, they are risking their main market.
