An electrician gave me his old one with the ground probe snapped off at an internship in 2007. Bought new probes for like $20 and it's been good to go. And it was old in 2007.

What causes the ghost voltage on meters? Besides our electromagnetic personalities😎
@johnoberg5084
4 ай бұрын
The ghosting you refer to is the ever changing voltage variations in the reading due to things like contact resistance,, EMI, induced spikes from load changes and such. Such variations typically are in the range of fractions of a volt. The Fluke displays only the whole number portion part of the voltage and not the fractional part so your reading appears rock solid without the flickering or ghosting.

It's insane that in america DIY and electrical are uttered in the same sentence, the amount of money saved, is the amount of money people are willing to risk their lives, their families lives for.

Yeah, here. If you homestead your house, you as a homeowner can do electrical work. You just gotta pull a permit. And if you get a good inspector. Thats good money saved

1st year apprentices get 100% supervision, so if the inspector is on site until the job is complete, then he shouldn't miss any mistakes. Otherwise, the amount saved is how much you value your family's life

Don't forget with Fluke you also get the safety of a Meter not blowing up in your hand, when a large Motor starts up next to you.

@@toolsandtacticsI’ve only been an apprentice for about a week now and was told to get a meter. Most of the guys have the t5-1000 but when I looked they have a t6-1000 with some extra features including a backlit display but there are quite a bit of bad reviews on the t6 from 4 or so years ago. Do you know if fluke regularly makes improvements to their devices over the years or if I buy a t6 today is it the same exact one they released in 2017? Thank you in advance for your knowledge and for the video.

@@dyllandominguez5548 I am not certain about the t6 but the t5 was improved with better leads detachable and tips. honestly the t6 is probably unneeded the t5 will serve all your needs the t6 is a bit gimicy with the field sense because your not doing maintenance, and already will be aware of what the voltage is the t5 is smaller and is more likely to be closer to you because your less worried about it getting stolen and misplaced so you will be safer with it on you i would say the t5

It was a good idea but fluke made it useless for anything more than a check for live power and overpriced for what it does. The fork doesn't need to be so chunky, all ranges need more decimal places and this would be a one stop diagnostic tool.

I feel like some of the features are gimicy, like to be able to put your probe ( jaws around a wire to tell you what the voltages is somewhat of a novelty. It could be useful if you're a maintenance. And you never knew what voltage the box was, but the whole qualified person thing. You shouldn't be in the box. In the first place, if you don't know It's a little bit bigger too And at that price point you wouldn't want to carry it everywhere. This multimeter is affordable high quality invary reliable, so it's amazing for a e d c
