Authorized Dealer

As an authorized dealer of these brands, these instruments ship genuine and factory sealed, direct from the maker, with the manufacturer documentation in the box.

The Fluke 179 is a true-RMS AC/DC digital multimeter for professional electricians and technicians. True-RMS technology keeps AC voltage and current readings accurate even when the waveform is not a clean sine wave, which suits industrial and commercial work with complex signals.

The 179 measures AC and DC voltage to 1000 V, AC and DC current to 10 A, resistance to 50 MΩ, capacitance to 10,000 µF and frequency to 100 kHz. A built-in thermometer reads temperature from -40 °C to +400 °C, and an analog bar graph tracks changing signals at a glance.

A backlit display keeps readings visible in low light, and the rugged, ergonomic housing is designed to withstand a drop from up to six feet for daily field use. The meter ships with an 80BK temperature probe and test leads, and it runs on an installed 9V battery.

  • Fluke 179 true-RMS digital multimeter
  • 80BK temperature probe
  • Test leads (1 pair)

A dependable everyday multimeter

The 179 brings true-RMS accuracy, a backlit display, an analog bar graph and temperature measurement together in a rugged meter built for daily electrical work.

Key Features

True-RMS measurement

True-RMS technology keeps AC voltage and current readings accurate on non-sinusoidal signals common in industrial and commercial systems.

Backlit display

A backlit digital display keeps readings visible in dim panels and low-light work areas.

Analog bar graph

An analog bar graph shows a visual view of the reading and makes it easy to spot changes and fluctuations in voltage or current.

Built-in temperature

An integrated thermometer measures from -40 °C to +400 °C using the included 80BK probe, so no separate instrument is needed.

Durable field design

A rugged, ergonomic housing is built for daily field use and is designed to withstand a drop from up to six feet.
