Pros & Cons

Pros

The fluke 87 (0. V and 5. A) is an accurate, reliable and durable device. It is great for the home do-it-yourselfer. As an auto mechanic, it will do everything you will ever need it to do. It's rugged and can take a beating.

It's easy yo use and super-accurate. Still accurate years later, partially melted, dropped many times, never fails.

The meter is easy to use, has a continuity tester and diode mode that is nice when you don't want to take your eyes of what you are probing. Pro tip get the magnetic strap so you can hang the meter it makes a world of difference.

Clean zebra connector gold-pads on pcb with rubber eraser. Gently clean zebra connector strip on back of display and the copper pads on pcb. Selector switch also seems fine.



Cons

This meter has two major problems. The contrast of the lcd is very low. The dial is so stiff that the thumb wheel is virtually useless. No ua or ma range.
