What reviewers say about the Fluke 87V
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.

Where reviewers disagree 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.

There's a reason the 87V is considered the gold standard of digital multimeters: it's accurate, boasts a feature set that spans many electrical applications, and it's built to last.
The 87V's test leads are a fine quality, but they aren't Fluke's highest, either.
It is certainly expensive, but it's not unheard of to run into a Pro using the same 87V from a decade ago – or longer!
