Fluke T150 any one got one any good

[Diver233]

I have a T150, recently replaced under their product recall. I actually preferred the older version, or at least I did until it failed as per the recall

I use it a lot for basic fault finding and checks, and the obvious safe isolation.

Can't comment on how they compare to others as I've only ever used a T150 as my AVI, apart from a brief spell using a Socket and See AVI which just seemed flimsy by comparison and certainly didn't have such a stout interconnect cable.

Curious.
When fluke replaced your T150 did you have to prove the original invoice/ receipt ?.
Reason I am asking is I have the chance to buy a second hand one fairly cheap (but not that cheap) but my fear is if it develops the fault will Fluke replace it (if you see what I mean).

All you had to do was provide the serial number, model number and your address. They generated a shipping label and I just dropped it off at a local UPS drop off point.

I would ask to see a picture of the rear plate showing the serial number and if it falls into the recall, don't bother. If you rely on having it for safe isolation, you'll need to buy a second one for the period when it's being shipped/replaced.

I have ordered one, but there’s a wait for it, just did not want to buy one that may break and not be honours because it’s second hand

It's similar to the old trick of buying cheap power tools from outlets (MacAllister, Power Devil, Preformance Pro) etc etc...

Then once you killed it on site...you took it back...
There...full refund and not a BoschblueMilwaukeeMakitaLX in sight...
