Pros & Cons
Pros
This is only my 4th meter and i use one daily. Everything about this meter looks and feels high quality. Fluke meter are very reliable.
The 117 is a great electrician's meter. It can test everything from a battery to a household receptacle to a heat pump run capacitor. It works but is not optimal for micro-electronics applications. Loz is really useful when troubleshooting.
Cons
Only displayed o. Performed an ohm check on fuse itself and got o. The backlight is not even a true backlight, it's a small dim white led in the lower left corner shining on the front of the lcd. Don't like lcd display.

No fluke doesnt need a review for its capability but should come with a case for this particular model since it is mostly used at home

Display hard to read unless look at it straight on

The probe wires are a vinyl material and are not nearly as pliable and flexible as the old rubber ones were
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I assume the move to vinyl or pvc or whatever the insulation is has something to do with high voltage or maybe a lawsuit or perhaps cost
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The result is that the wires that you wrap around the meter in storage try to keep that shape and then get tangled
