The Fluke 179 is a robust digital hand-held multimeter with a 6,000-count display and it is accurate up to 0.15% for standard measurement functions. Apart from the standard and true RMS functions for measuring volts, ohms and amperes, capacitance and frequency measurements can also be performed. Furthermore, there is a function for diode testing and you can check the continuity.
The 179 also offers temperature measurement compared to the lower models in the 170 series.
This multimeter has a fold out stand at the back and the display is large and easy to read. This multimeter uses a 9V block battery, which you can use for about 200 hours. The Fluke 179 belongs to the measurement category CAT IV to 600V and CAT III to 1000V.
