Fluke 233 Remote Display Multimeter

This meter is the worst fluke I have ever owned or used. When I need it the batteries are dead. The removable display is great when it works. I would have not bought it if I had known this design flaw. It also has a corrosion problem at the batteries. The only way to keep this meter working is remove the 5 batteries after every use. Fluke should offer some type of fix for this meter.

perfect for what i was looking for, I do a lot of battery draw testing on cars and this meter with the detachable display works great i can watch my readings while doing other work on the vehicle

This Fluke meter is the Cats Meow! Especialy like the ability tonuse it remotely without having to use alarms or lights.

A great idea for a portable DMM. The remote display is very handy and removes the requirement for long BNC cables.

The Fluke 233 is a good meter for the intermediate user. It offers nice features but that has a major design flaw...

For years I have been trying to monitor voltages and currents from around the corner or a certain distance. For example, monitoring a signal under the hood of a car while youre sitting inside. I would either create long test lead extensions, or try to place the multimeter near the windshield. With this 233, its a perfect solution. Simply set up the MM body near the circuit, and pop off the head and there you go!

The meter and its features are great, I used it at home a few times and use it at work repairing cars. I have had this meter 2 years now, its held up very well, but after today its GONE, I traded it in and bought a Fluke 88. I am sick and tired of having to pull and install the batteries each time I use the meter! You have to remove the batteries from the meter and display after using meter or they will be dead in a day or 2, even if you use the meter regularly, the batteries dont last. its a shame.... Sounds petty, just swap batteries and save money from getting a new meter, but Ive had it.

Great purchase! Works well and the detachable part is really handy. For the price this is worth it.

I used it the first time 2 weeks ago and it was not working.

I love it.
