Fluke 117 True RMS Digital Multimeter

The Fluke 117 is a true RMS digital multimeter for electrical troubleshooting, combining non-contact voltage detection with automatic AC/DC selection and measurements including resistance, continuity, frequency, and capacitance. Its low-impedance mode is intended to help prevent false readings from ghost voltage, while a backlight supports work in dim areas.

At a glance

Integrated non-contact voltage detection provides a contact-free voltage check.
AutoVolt selects AC or DC voltage measurement automatically.
Low input impedance is intended to help avoid false readings from ghost voltage.
True RMS operation is claimed for measurements on non-linear loads.
Measures resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance, with Min/Max/Average readings listed in the product title.
White LED backlight is intended for dim work areas.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives operating temperature as -10°C to +50°C in its feature text, but separate lower and upper temperature fields show 10 °C and 50 °C. The product title calls the model Fluke 117, while the model field lists 2583647. Confirm which model identifier and temperature information apply to the selected listing. Battery life is specified as typical and without the backlight. The magnetic hanger is optional.

Customer feedback highlights functionality, accuracy, ease of use, durability and build quality, including reported ease of one-handed use and appreciation for the built-in voltage sensor. These perceptions align with the meter’s listed measurement range and integrated non-contact detection, though customer reports do not independently establish measurement performance. The aggregate ratings are strongly positive, but a small share are low-star ratings, so they do not imply uniform experiences.

Positive themes

Customers praise ease of use, including handling the meter in one hand.
Feedback highlights perceived accuracy, durability, build quality and functionality.
Customers appreciate the built-in voltage sensor and VoltAlert feature.

Frequently asked questions

What measurements does the Fluke 117 list?

The listing names voltage, resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance. It also describes Min/Max/Average readings and a 10 A measurement claim with a 20 A overload for 30 seconds.

Does the Fluke 117 detect voltage without contact?

Yes. VoltAlert technology is listed for non-contact voltage detection. This feature is separate from the meter’s probe-based measurements.

Does it select AC or DC voltage automatically?

The listing describes AutoVolt as automatic AC/DC voltage selection. It also gives a DC millivolts range of 600.0 mV and resolution of 0.1 mV.

Is a magnetic hanger included?

The listing says the meter is compatible with an optional ToolPak magnetic hanger. It does not list the hanger as an included component.
