Fluke 117 Digital Multimeter, True RMS, Non-Contact Voltage Detection

The Fluke 117 digital multimeter combines non-contact voltage detection with automatic AC/DC voltage selection and low-input-impedance mode. Its resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance functions suit electrical troubleshooting, while True RMS is specified for non-linear loads.

At a glance

VoltAlert provides non-contact voltage detection, alongside conventional multimeter measurements.
AutoVolt selects AC or DC voltage automatically, and low input impedance helps reduce false readings from ghost voltage.
True RMS is specified for measurements on non-linear loads. The meter also measures up to 10 A, with a stated 20 A overload for 30 seconds.
A large white LED backlight is intended to improve visibility in poorly lit work areas.

What to know before buying

The stated 400-hour battery life applies to typical use without the backlight. A magnetic hanger is described as optional, so do not assume it is included.

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the temperature range is given as -10°C to +50°C in the feature text, while separate detail fields list 10 °C and 50 °C as lower and upper ratings. Check the applicable operating range for the selected listing. The listed minimum operating voltage of 110 volts is also unconfirmed against the meter's stated measurement features. The dimensions appear in two formats with slightly different figures, so confirm the dimensions if fit matters. The title mentions Min/Max/Average readings, but no supporting feature detail is provided here.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Electricians and maintenance staff wanting non-contact voltage detection together with standard voltage and current measurements.
Users who need frequency, capacitance, resistance or continuity measurements, or True RMS for non-linear loads.
Work in dim locations where an integrated backlight is useful.

Less suited to

Buyers who require a confirmed Min/Max/Average specification or a precisely verified operating-temperature range from this listing alone.
Anyone who needs a magnetic hanger included in the package rather than available as an optional accessory.

Customer feedback reports satisfaction with performance, build and perceived accuracy, while opinions are mixed on value for money and display visibility. Those reported strengths may matter for frequent electrical troubleshooting, where the listed measurement functions and backlight are relevant, but the display and value concerns remain buyer considerations. Aggregate ratings are strongly favourable overall, though they do not establish performance for a particular job.
