The Fluke 179/EDA2 combines a True RMS digital multimeter with a deluxe accessory kit for field service, troubleshooting, and laboratory work. The Fluke 179 delivers precise measurements across DC/AC voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and diode testing, plus integrated temperature measurement. Safety-rated to CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V with 8000V transient protection, the meter suits demanding industrial and commercial environments. SureGrip™ accessories and a protective carrying case complete the kit.
