Worth The Investment

Not a bad little unit, I tried it out next to my Fluke 117, 83-V, and my sons Amprobe AM-510. It held its own when it came to accuracy, however it should be noted that the Fluke 100 series as well as the 15B, 17B, etc do not offer True RMS so on some AC readings you may see it struggle. I tested a 9V battery and resistance on my electro variable resistance box and it was more than acceptable. I didn’t throw any abnormal waveform AC voltages at it but looking some other videos online it may affect the readings. I would say for around $40 the 101 is worth having due to its small size and portability. As far as the other import Fluke Meters go 106 15B etc. I would stay away from them and consider the Fluke 115, Extech EX355, or Amprobe AM-570. All are within the price range and offer True RMS. The Extech and Amprobe even offer some other nice features too but you are sacrificing on the Fluke’s ruggedness. I attached some pictures of my comparisons for review

Great Pocket Meter!

This is a great lil meter! I've used Fluke meters since my Navy days, almost 20 years ago. Die hard meters and I've never had an issue with them. Time will tell if this lil 101 is up to the challenge. The only thing of note was my meter came with no meter leads. At first I thought that was normal, but the box clearly states what is included. So poor feedback was left for the seller, looks like my meter was a returned (open box) item that never got checked. At least not checked by any competent person. I'll grab some leads from work and should be good to go. I'll be sure to report back any issues with this 101 in the next few weeks. It'll get plenty of use in an industrial environment shortly.

The perfect entry level multimeter.

Great deal on this easy to use multimeter. I have one but since I don't use it much, I always forget how and have to go through pages in instructions. This one is well laid out and doesn't have too much stuff on it for someone who doesn't need all the bells and whistles. Small and easy to understand.

Great little tester

I've spent way too much money on junky $10 multimeters. When my last one decided to go belly up, I decided I'd had enough and got this one based on all the good reviews. I'm happy I did. It works well for what I'm doing. One note: There was no users manual in my box, but it's available online.

I love my baby Fluke

I love my baby Fluke. Yes, it is made in China, as is my 116 (even my 87V only claims 'Assembled in USA'), but it still has that Fluke pedigree and quality. It is as internally robust as they come, and just works as a Fluke is expected, every time. No Amp measurement is not a problem, as 99% of the time, I either don't require or it is more convenient to use a current probe or sense resistor than insert a DMM into the circuit. At approximately 1/3 the price and volume (minus the leads) of Fluke's 'compact' 110 series meters, the 101 allows me to pack a smaller tool case for remote work, and still show up with a trusted meter. Mine included Fluke TL75 test leads and I bought the (over-priced) softcase for it. I would likely add on a silicon or rubber overmolded protective case, if one was available. Overall, I am quite pleased with the purchase and consider this basic meter a good value, and recommend to anyone for around the house use, or even as a back-up or flyaway/tool case meter for professionals.

Economy Fluke

I love this meter. I was looking for an economical alternative to the more expensive Fluke meters, but it didn't want to buy another cheesy no name unit that would fail prematurely, as they all seem to do. This one combines legendary Fluke quality with a low price so there's no reason why anyone can't have a Fluke now. Don't by a crappy Harbor Freight meter. Spend a few pennies more and get this Fluke. You won't regret it.

Quality, Durable, Inexpensive Multi-Meter

Bought this meter for my small business to use in field tool box. It has the great Fluke solid quality and when checked for accuracy against a bench meter, was very impressive. If you want a tough, small, inexpensive meter with all the primary measurements, this is the one to have. Good small investment.

Small, basic (just what I need) easy to use, hopefully accurate meter.

Small, basic (just what I need) easy to use, hopefully accurate meter. It's a shame when you have to buy half a dozen multimeters in order to figure out which one, or which ones are accurate. But I get the feeling that this multimeter is very accurate. It's easy to use to accomplish 95% of the tasks that I need a multimeter for. If I need more than this multimeter, I probably need an electrician or electronic repairman.

NOT grey market on mine.

The unit I received today from Prime Trade Shop through Amazon appears to be 100% US market. No Chinese writing on the box, all English. The unit came with high quality Fluke test leads and works great. Does everything the average home owner/tinkered should need. I would purchase again in a heartbeat.

Its a Fluke so its good. The leads are too thick to check my ...

Its a Fluke so its good. The leads are too thick to check my 120VAC GFC outlets. They won't fit in but no big deal. I may grind them down a tad.
