It boasts an elegant finish and is comfortable to carry around. However, I would like to invest in some form of protective case to ensure it doesn't get damaged during transport. Ideally, it would be great if such a case were included with the equipment, although I understand that might be asking for too much.

It boasts an elegant finish and is comfortable to carry around. However, I would like to invest in some form of protective case to ensure it doesn't get damaged during transport. Ideally, it would be great if such a case were included with the equipment, although I understand that might be asking for too much.
Of my prior 3 Fluke meters I would say this is my favorite. I purchased the carry case and the magnetic holder for this meter too but miss a feature of the 75 and 77 series of the hanging notch built into the back of the case. I use to use this notch to connect to drop ceiling grids. Now they have an optional magnetic strap but this only works of course on metal.
I also like the fact that I don't need to use my O-scope to check frequencies anymore. My O-scope even while being a digital unit is much bigger and a hassle to carry around. This 179 model includes frequency measuring.
PROS:
- Quality Build
- Highly Accurate
- Protective Snug case
- This model includes frequency measurements and temperature (to caiibrate your stove)
- Large display that is easy to read
- Touch hold
- Auto off feature
- Backlighted
CONS:
- I wish they weren't so pricey
Now the good. Well made, durable...should last for many years. Super accurate...meter readings can be trusted. Ability to measure temperature...takes a while (5 minutes) to stabilize but a cool feature (ha). Ability to measure up to 100kHz...I use this feature a lot with laptops to see if the CCFL backlight inverter is working. I don't even have to make electrical contact...the leads of the 179 act as an antenna and pick up on the EMI field if the inverter is working. Note: Some CCFL data sheets I've seen spec 60kHz and most meters only go up to 50kHz, if that. Continuity test function very quick...will sense opens/shorts that are 250us or longer. Capacitance test function...no more trying to figure out the cap code.

Reviewed in Brazil on July 11, 2023
This device was assembling in USA, came with information complete in English.
It’s my second Fluke, and never failed both.
Einzig die Messspitzen machen einen "billigen" Eindruck, da könnte man durchaus mal einen wertigeren Kunststoff einsetzen. Für Punkteabzug reicht dieses Manko dann aber doch nicht.
Eine gute, robuste Hard-Cover-Tasche fehlt mir leider im Angebot von Fluke, aber hier gibt es andere Anbieter die sehr gute und 100% passende Alternative bieten. Das Zubehör (Magnethalter, Zubehörset mit div. Messspitzen & Klammern) ist jedenfalls unverschämt teuer und, abgesehen von dem Magnethalter, auch von minderer Qualität. Wenn einem das bewusst ist bzw. man Zubehör von Drittherstellern zurückgreifen kann, macht man mit dem Messgerät jedenfalls keinen Fehler!
