I have the Fluke 179 DMM along with the Fluke 1400 Amp Clamp, love this combo. I also have a Fluke 322 Clamp Meter. Those Klein Meters look real nice with alot to offer for the price... I'm not sure, I was specifically looking at the one that works with the 87V. It's a super nice kit you have there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I almost brought the 87V instead of the 179, but I got a great deal on the 179 as a package at the time and I have a Victor DMM that does MicroAmps anyway, I'm quite sure this amp clamp would work with the 87V? i am in the market for another clamp Meter,,, just because,,. Lol Let us know what you think of that new Klein Clamp meter when you use it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77Ford01 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'm just waiting to see what 77ford gets with the 25% off coupon. I was looking for some M12.....but my local HD does not carry much stock. Looks like Tool Barn will be getting my money for the M12 1/4 ratchet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Let us know what you think of that new Klein Clamp meter when you use it I will do, I plan on playing around with it this week...but I have mostly mechanical troubleshooting to do as I have about $3,000 worth of reel to reels on my bench right now and a low vision machine that doesn't appear to have any electrical issues. I'm sure something will come in this week. Testing basic functions and seeing how quickly it can read voltage changes on the variac only tells you soo much about the meter...though it did almost immediately disqualify the Milwaukee meter I bought for cheap as an advanced-user usable multimeter. Right now, I can tell you it's a lot more reliable than the Milwaukee. I also would recommend the CL800 over this one because of the worklight and the ability to measure DC A.

NicholasShetley Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 4 hours ago, BMack37 said: It's basically like an expensive different kind of lead. The thing is you have to get a multimeter that supports the add-on and from what I recall(though I haven't really researched a lot) they're lower rated clamps. I think the Fluke version was rated at 400 Amps and I think Fluke claims they have the only Cat III 1000V addon...and it's like $150. The Klein CL800 and CL700 are cheaper than the Fluke addon and you can get a better spec-ed Fluke(compared to the Fluke addon) clamp meter for about the same price. I went with the Klein for the cost and the 2 meter drop resistant body. I was comfortable with giving Klein a shot because I don't need a clamp meter to be super accurate and have a super quick refresh rate. Hoping it surprises me in both of those regards but I won't know for sure until I do some testing on parts, circuits and my variac when I go back to work on Monday. Mine is an older fluke. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. I think it actually says John Fluke cooperation on it. It is also all black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it actually says John Fluke cooperation on it. It is also all black. The big ones that were rather square? My first multimeter(a hand-me down) was one of those styles, I think it was a 73 or something. I didn't have it long before the screen went, then I picked up a Fluke 12 which I used for several years...I finally got tired of the annoying auto-switch voltage thing. If you were checking anything other than voltage and there was a charged cap in circuit, it would read the voltage off the cap. So you'd have to wait or discharge the cap...or grab another meter. You'd think it would be a bigger problem than it was but when it was a problem it was really annoying. ...maybe we should start a multimeter/clamp meter thread? I feel like I'm starting to derail this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Order from rockler arrived today. Some glue supplies and bench cookies. A 3 piece glue tray, brush, and scraper is backordered so that will be in next month. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I wanted to thank KnarlyCarl before I posted but this beauty arrived yesterday. A new-to-me 3/8" air ratchet for my new air compressor and it works great! I thought it would push the air compressor's limits much more than it actually does. Thanks Buddy! It made my day! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah man, you cleaned it up didn't you, that didn't even cross my mind, I should have thought of that! I see you switched out the ARO210 style air tip to the industrial style, it's kind of weird around here what I run into, the majority of shops use the type of air tip that I had on it, but once in awhile I ran into a place that uses your style, so I always had an adapter with me too.... Don't need it now though since I'm not working in the shop environment. It worked great when I had it, I didn't expect anything less! Have fun with it man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun with it man Yeah, I did a little cleanup because that's what I do, can't help it. I'm not a tool polisher but I'm a little OCD so I clean the dirt and grime off of my tools often...my co-workers make fun of my because I'm the only one that they've ever seen that cleans their soldering iron tip-cleaner brass sponge holder(they seriously need a better name for that). I didn't really have a fitting preference so I just went with the style that matched what my Goodyear air hose had on it from the factory. I see the ARO210 on most mechanics' tools around here also, I have a few friends that are professional mechanics so I'll just pass that along since you don't need it. Thanks again, I'm super stoked to use it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
