dont be a tool, read the info.

every fluke make in the usa has a lifetime guarentee. the ones made in china have 2 years.

i would rather buy a 175/177/179 for the same price second hand because it will still last longer.

why would they offer only 2 years for the 117 if it wasnt made from inferior parts?

Tool eh?
I have many fluke instruments including another 3 multi-meters- the upper ranges.
It doesn't change the fact that the 117 is still a good electricians meter.
I've had mine maybe 4 years now, never had a problem, and should it fail I wouldn't hesitate to get another. Its also not such a big loss if it gets lost damaged or stolen - something the lifetime guarantee and extra price doesn't cover for.

...A weird device,which has put food on the table,and got hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of plant,functioning again....and is simple enough to show the principles of electrical measurement to an inquisitive 6 year old,who just might join the industry one day...:icon12:
