Great DMM for the price.

Awesome price, tool truck guy wanted twice the Amazon price for the same meter. Use in an automotive setting. Large, clear display, reads under 10mA which my boss's old Fluke 88 cannot do. Does everything I need for basic automotive repair at a great price. Highly recommend.

I find it very easily readable in most lighting conditions from most angles

Replacing two ancient analog multimeters for DIY electrical & auto work. Probably overkill for my needs but Fluke's reputation for high quality instruments for professionals I work with was my excuse for the splurge. Highly rated in many professional reviewers. Many of the under $50 and particularly those under $25 DMMs have questionable overload protection for high voltage & high current spikes. Overload protection is not so important for most electronics uses, but I will use mine more for 120V & 240V services which can be lethal and I am not an electrical engineer or electrician. Some of the Amazon reviews complain the 115 does not measure millivolts. It does measure down to 1 mVDC via the autoranging feature, it just doesn't have a separate setting for mV. It does not measure micro volts. A few other reviewers complain about low contrast, glare and viewing angle of the display. I find it very easily readable in most lighting conditions from most angles. If I go looking for it, I can finds some glare from a light source just to the side or my head but in 95% of the positions I tried, there was no glare at all. If the room lighting is low, the backlight makes the readings easily readable. It is unreadable from a lower angle from the top, but easily readable from lower angles to the side and from the bottom. If you can't read it, move it. Very high build quality, this meter will outlive me, yellow rubber holster will help when it is inevitably dropped. Excellent lead connections, shielded for safety, the unshielded old style connectors on my ancient analog meters were always working loose & erratic so I spent as much time troubleshooting my meter as my project. Some of the description on the Amazon page is inaccurate. My model 115 arrived with a pair of TL75 PVC plastic leads, the Amazon page states the leads are the more flexible silicone rubber ones, this is NOT true. Check out fluke.com for a trustworthy description of the features, specs and what's-in-the-box for this meter. Meter came exactly as described on fluke.com. 9V battery IS required and IS included (a quality name brand Energizer, not a never heard of brand). Meter is made in China but there is nothing of questionable build quality I (or many professional reviewers) can find.

For professionals, enthusiasts, and the average joe around the house

I bought the 115 for home use but I can attest it is perfect for any troubleshooting situation. I'm an electrician and I've worked on diesel-electric locomotives which have a dizzying combination of AC/DC as well as hydro-electric generation which is mostly AC. I've used several different Fluke's in my career and in my humble opinion I could have used this 115 in any of the situations I found myself in. It's rugged yet small and portable. I've used this particular Fluke to troubleshoot power issues in my home, to install fans, outlets, and upgrade a breaker box in my buddy's house. As with all Flukes, it's compatible with every upgrade on the market.

Good Value for Money and Perfectly Compatible with Accessory Clamp

We have dozens of Fluke instruments at work so when I decided to have a Fluke branded DMM for my own use, I decided to buy this little 115. It's lightweight, gorgeous looking and a joy to use. This particular unit was made in Singapore. The included 115 leads were not as flexible as I would wish but they're still functional and carry safety ratings. Yes, LCD screen could have been better, but not a deal breaker as it is. I do pair my F115 with an accessory clamp Fluke i400E. Not every one will have a need for an accessory clamp and it will not replace your regular clamp meter. But if you don't already have a clamp volt-ammeter, I recommend the i400E to go with your F115. You'll never know when you'll need it. In the photo, I found out that the inrush current of my ACU's outdoor unit (rated at 8.5A) was 32.4A (roughly 4x full load current) while running current was 7.2A. These were taken just using the F115's MIN-MAX with mV functions. On another occasion during a motor startup, I compared the reading from a Hioki CM4376's dedicated current inrush function with that of the same Fluke combination. It's uncanny how the Fluke's reading was virtually identical to the Hioki's: 21Amps. For this kind of solid performance, I highly recommend the F115 and it's optional accessory clamp i400E.

Good meter

I bought this for my son at Christmas for his school training. I have used Fluke meters throughout my years in service and had no problems spending money on this meter. Meets all the basic requirements for a digital meter along with a few extra functions he will most likely not going to need. If you are going to need to measure currents over 10A you'll need to buy a current probe to hook up to the meter to extend the range that can be measured. He has used it for 6 months now with out any issues or failures and he is happy with it.

My old, trusty DMM crapped out on me so ...

My old, trusty DMM crapped out on me so I decided to get the Fluke 115 to replace it. I used my old DMM for 20+ years as an hobbyist and DIY type of person for diagnosing and installing electrical in vehicles and also for home wiring projects. We have a Class A motorhome and anyone who owns one know how complicated they are with multiple 12VDC and 120VAC electrical systems. I NEVER leave for a trip without packing a DMM. The 115 may have more features than what most hobbyists need, but I'd rather have more and not need them on a daily basis.

Great meter for bungling & confident amateurs like me.

I'm not an engineer or physicist by any means, needed something to identify a faulty microswitch in a failed microwave. From reviews I narrowed down on Fluke over other brands quickly, though had difficulty choosing the right one for my needs. So took a while to figure this would do the job and I could grow into it's other functions. I nailed the rogue switch quickly with the audible continuity function. Comes with a thick instruction manual that is a mini tutorial in electronics. The meter itself is in a removable yellow rubber case that I expect is one reason Fluke has a reputation for durability.

... on of these cheaper Fluke meters as I don't like my more expensive ones being abused on the road

I decided to try on of these cheaper Fluke meters as I don't like my more expensive ones being abused on the road. This one covers almost everything I do on a daily basis so the expensive ones only come out when required. Big and high contrasting display is easily readable, the back light is a nice touch. Included leads are Fluke quality as expected. Great little metter

The Fantastic Fluke 115 Multi-meter

My last Fluke was over 30 years old and still going strong when it got lost in a move. I wanted to stay with the Fluke brand and went back and forth between the 115 and 177 for some time. Advantages of the 177 are it's made in the USA and has a better warranty and a micro amp port. Some advantages of the 115 are it's substantially cheaper (China made) and more compact and has a better battery compartment. Weighing the above I ended up buying the 115. It arrived in new condition housed in an easy-open plastic cover. My 115 came with an instruction manual and Fluke TL75 test leads. The TL75 leads are adequate but since they're made of plastic they lack the flexibility of silicone. I immediately ordered better quality silicone leads Fluke TL224 paired with TP220 test probes. I have to say I'm pretty happy with this multi-meter. The shape of the 115 is pretty sexy being narrower on the bottom and curving out at the top which makes it a pleasure to hold. It fits my hand like a glove. If I were to fault it for anything it would be the display. If you want the display to be at its darkest you need to be careful with placement. For example, if standing and working at a panel if I hang it around 12 inches above eye level its nice and dark but if placed directly at eye level the display is readable but dimmer. This isn't a deal killer and I would buy again.

Novice Electrical Home Owner

I'm not an extensive user of a multimeter; just use it around the house for various jobs. I had an older model Craftsman that STB'd so I thought I'd invest in a newer model that suited my needs. My Son is in the Navy and uses electronic test equipment daily. I solicited his advice and he indicated the Fluke is the test devices they use. I researched a little further and found that the Fluke brand rec'd the highest marks as far as reviews. I will not use this device to measure mili-amps so the 115 is ideally suited for my needs. The 115 is probably a little overkill but I'm not adverse to paying for quality. It ALWAYS ends up paying off in the long run. The Owner's Manual assumes you know a great deal about electronics - - I don't. I'm a novice. I looked on-line for a more detailed "how-to" manual on this particular model and found a good PDF file which I downloaded and printed. I've used the device several times and it works wonderfully. I recommend it from my 'novice' standpoint.
