Fluke 179 True RMS Digital Multimeter
The Fluke 179 is the full-featured, top model in the Fluke 170 series of True RMS digital multimeters. It is the reliable, precise meter for electricians, technicians and engineers who troubleshoot and maintain electrical and electronic systems in domestic and industrial settings. The headline difference from the rest of the series is a built-in thermometer, so you can take temperature readings without carrying a separate instrument. Independently rated CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V with a lifetime warranty, it is built to be trusted.
Supplied by Powerpoint Engineering as an authorised Fluke distributor, this listing is for the instrument without a calibration certificate. Our in-house laboratory can supply traceable calibration when you need it.
What the Fluke 179 measures
- True RMS AC voltage and current, plus DC voltage and current
- Temperature, using the built-in thermometer
- Resistance, continuity, diode test, capacitance and frequency
- Backlit display with analog bar graph for clear reading in any light
The full-featured 170 series meter
The 179 brings everything the series offers into one instrument: True RMS accuracy, a backlight, an analog bar graph and temperature measurement, in a rugged ergonomic body. If you do not need temperature, the Fluke 177 covers the same electrical measurements, and the Fluke 175 is the no-backlight baseline.

Calibration and support
- Supplied and supported in Ireland by an authorised Fluke distributor
- Available with or without a calibration certificate
- Calibrated and repaired in our own lab with traceable certificates
Because this listing ships without a certificate, the simplest route to compliance is to calibrate it through our calibration and repair laboratory. Full figures are on the official Fluke 179 datasheet and across the wider Fluke digital multimeter range.
FAQs
What makes the Fluke 179 different from the 175 and 177?
The 179 adds a built-in thermometer for temperature measurement, on top of the backlight and analog bar graph it shares with the 177. The 175 is the baseline without a backlight.
Can the Fluke 179 measure temperature without a separate instrument?
Yes. The built-in thermometer lets you take temperature readings directly, which is handy when checking motors, connections or enclosures alongside electrical measurements.
What does "without calibration" mean for this Fluke 179?
It means the meter is supplied without a calibration certificate. The instrument is identical; if your work needs traceable evidence, we can calibrate it in our own lab and issue a certificate.
