## What reviewers say

Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, published a genuine hands-on review of the exact Fluke 87V (they picked up the latest version and tested it on commercial job sites). Their verdict: the gold-standard industrial multimeter, durable, accurate and feature-rich across general, industrial and HVAC trades, but expensive, with included test leads below Fluke's best and no magnetic strap/hanger in the box. (Based on 1 review, 1 lab-tested, 2019-11-26.)

Praised: Built to last and extremely durable; Pros still use decade-old units; Accurate with a wide feature set spanning general, industrial and HVAC work; Considered the gold standard / king of digital multimeters.
Flagged: Premium price; certainly expensive versus basic meters; Included test leads aren't Fluke's highest and no magnetic strap/hanger in box.
Disagreement: No cross-source disagreement possible: only Pro Tool Reviews yielded a usable hands-on body. Their review is qualitative praise with no self-measured benchmarks (all numeric figures are manufacturer spec-sheet values), and they list 'no significant downsides' beyond nit-picks on leads and the absence of a magnetic strap.
