! * Fluke Product Recall * !

I was joking, actually...LOL!
However, the volt stick is a handy second line of defence...
My old multimeter is far better.

and the slim probes get that seagull meat out of my dentures

Have packaged it up, and will take it to my local UPS point tomorrow morning. They said not to include any accessories so I kept the fat tips and the insulated sleeves.
I just hope they turn it around quickly...

Well wouldn't you know it... printed my label, picked up a T90 and my T150 has succumbed to the problem. Having now experienced it myself I can see there is definitely scope for it screwing someone over, so if you've got a tester that fits the recall, stop using it immediately.

Thanks for that SparkyChick! I was in 2 minds about sending mine back because it has not been used a lot, however as you have just pointed out, the fault can manifest itself anytime...no point in taking the risk. Anyway, mine's away to the Netherlands, as they say in the movies...

Quick update

Sent off testers with UPS Wed 31st text on Friday acknowledging receipt in Holland.
Mon 5th Nov 2 new testers delivered by UPS.
Service excellent IMO .

Update here too...my new T150 arrived today. I sent it on 4 th November, so quite a quick turnaround.

I have registered it online, but didn't see any offers of an extended warranty like I got for the previous one.

I sent my T150 off two and a half weeks ago and haven't received a replacement or any contact from Fluke. Good job I have a spare voltage tester as I expected better service.
