Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter

4.1/ 5 Tested Power Tools editorial score

Best for: Commercial electrical troubleshooting

A true-RMS handheld meter with non-contact voltage detection and low-impedance measurement mode.

Tested Power Tools review

A dependable everyday meter when electrical safety category and ghost-voltage rejection matter more than bench-level resolution. Its design puts durability in the areas that matter most for the stated job. The price-to-utility case looks sound when its platform and accessories already fit the job. The learning curve appears reasonable for the intended audience, but exact configuration still matters.
