Fluke 233 Remote Display Multimeter

Detachable head that is magnetic and work awesome while testing circuits under cars and trucks. Great buy!

Work at an independent euro automotive shop. Do tons of diagnostic and troubleshooting. This multimeter saves me lots of time. Would recommend to any technician. A must have compared to the new Snap-on meter that is almost three times the price.

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.

If you have any need to use this meter to inspect readings below 22 mV AC, do not buy this meter. The specification says it is accurate from 0.1mV AC to 1000V AC. However, after many weeks of working with Fluke on an issue of the meter not reading below 22 mV AC, while comparing readings using two different devices, they finally admitted that the Fluke 233 is not going to be able to read those values. They offered to replace the 233 with an 87V device for free. Thanks for trying to replace my $315 meter with a $280 meter with less capability for remote viewing. They were informed we would be keeping the 233 to do remote display capabilities, but were very disappointed that the specifications were not met by a flagship product. Clearly shows a lack of testing and support to fix their design.
