! * Fluke Product Recall * !

[Adam W]

Firstly all the usual guff about sorry for posting this in the wrong section; I tried posting it in the general section but I just couldn't find it amongst the swathes of different categories. Mods feel free to move it or delete it or whatever.

I tried to buy a Fluke T150 today but was told they'd been recalled.

I remember they had a recall on a socket tester but that was a while back. Haven't seen any info about this one.....

I relocated this thread to the > Electrical Tools and Products forum.

Hmm...read that safety notice, but can't see it is relevant to T150?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Not aware of the T150 being recalled.
Fortunately, I have the T2.

 

[pirate]

Me neither, but Adam W was told T150 recalled...

 

[rapparee]

I'm after buying a fluke tis65

 

[pirate]

testing a banana right now...

FECK!!!!!!!!
ouch, that hurt!!

Any recall may not be fully publicised yet. I contacted them about my T110 being broken and they confirmed they are having worldwide problems with the T90-150 series.

What kind of problems @Andy78 or did they not elaborate?

They did not. Mine was failing to self test or perform continuity, but they did not allude to the specific problem that was causing the fault.

Heard a similar story many times now from other fluke users, sounds like they have been dishing out loads of warranty replacements over the last couple of years.

They offered me a half price replacement but I didn't see the point if it would just break again.

The T2 has been subject to a recall.
Although the serial numbers affected, do not include mine.

 

[telectrix]

I've had a T3 for 20 years.never failed me

 

[sparkdog]

Think I'll stick with Martindale then.

 

[telectrix]

can't go wrong with one of these:

Cyclim Test Lamp 100 with Neon | Cyclim Voltage Indicator - https://cuthbertsonlaird.co.uk/voltage-continuity-testers/1384-cyclim-test-lamp-100-with-neon.html

had mine for donkey's years. no batteries needed.

 

[pirate]

I had a cycling lamp once! It used 1289 Ever Ready battery...

 

[telectrix]

as used in AVO 7's.

Thanks for that Andy

Just got mine, manufactured in 2016, serial number fits... time to buy a standby AVI I guess

I just filled in the form to send my 2015 one back too. It's been replaced in my bag by a Martindale now, but always good to have a backup.
