Includes:
- Fluke 88V Deluxe Automotive Multimeter
- High impact protective leather sheath
- Test lead set
Specs say it will measure RPM. Does the required probe come with this? If not what is the P/N for it?
The Fluke 88V can measure RPM by either using the test leads and connecting them to a RPM sensor or using the RPM80 accessory and clamp around a spark plug cable. The part number for the RPM80 is “880849.”

Does this 88v have true rms? Is that not critical between home and automotive diagnostics? Looking to cover both needs with one meter
No, the Fluke-88V is not a True RMS meter. Since automotive measurements are typically only made on DC circuits a true-RMS meter is not necessary. Similarly, the AC circuits in homes are normally clean and without distorted waveforms. Typical examples of workloads where a true-RMS meter is recommended would be variable-speed motor drives, electronic ballasts, computers, and HVAC systems.

Is there a master list of accessories that are compatible with this meter? Specifically the i410 AC/DC current clamp. Also would be interested in a phototach and different temp probes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crazytekkie from Just an absolutely great meter I have had my 88v for about 10 years now. It's been dropped from ladders, gone thru sitting in extreme heat of Nevada sun to transmitter towers on mountains 10000' middle of winter.... It's been exposed to over current and voltage on resistance setting and it still holds accurate readings with the only issue I've ever had is when moisture got into the test lead section. Causing it to think it was in current test. Plus this meter has just about any measurement one could ever need to make except inductance. If it had that it would be the near perfect meter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rob2017 from Many features for automotive I received the 88V for Christmas and it was a gift for my participation in an automotive repair internship. Using the meter for a few tasks really showed me the many scientific features– for example the water temperature of the swimming pool was taken to compare the results with a weather service. Verifying good electrical grounds on vehicle components, and checking the resistance of installed automotive wiring makes diagnosing and installing more accurate. Protecting the meter seems easy with the yellow bumper case. There are many accessories that can be used like the temperature reading probes, direct current reading meter clamp, alligator clamp probes, thin-wire precision probes and probes that can be inserted into the wire by needling the probe-needle through the wires conduit.
Personally, the meter has been used only a few times but it has performed very well. The jobs that the meter was used for are okay. The display is large and easy to read.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Creolestorm from Great DMM!!! This is the best multimeter that I have ever used. I have been in the automotive industry for 25 years. I have worked everywhere from independent service shops to dealerships to automotive manufacturers. I have used many different types of DMMs none can compare with the fluke 88. It is easy to use, nice large read out. Perfect for all automotive test. I have owned this one for 20 years
