Fluke 179 Kits and Bundle Options for Electronics and Industrial Work

Looking for a complete accessory package rather than the standalone Fluke 179 multimeter? Compare these kit options by their included accessories and intended applications to find the right setup for your work.

Fluke 179/EDA2/EUR Electronics Combo Kit— An electronics-focused combo option with accessories for circuit testing and general electronics troubleshooting.
Fluke 179 IMSK Industrial Multimeter Service Kit— A service-kit option for industrial maintenance and electrical troubleshooting. Check the product page for the exact kit contents.
Fluke IB179M-EGFID Digital Multimeter with Insulated Tool Starter Kit— A bundle option that includes insulated hand tools for electrical installation and maintenance tasks.

For specifications and features of the standalone meter, see the Fluke 179 details on this page. Kit contents can vary by product version, so review each linked product page before ordering.

What is the primary difference between the Fluke 179 and the Fluke 177?

The primary difference is the integrated temperature measurement feature. The Fluke 179 includes built-in thermometer functionality and comes with the 80BK-A thermocouple probe, while the Fluke 177 does not support temperature testing. Both models offer identical 1000V True-RMS electrical measurement ranges and CAT IV 600V safety ratings.

Is the Fluke 179 compliant with UAE facility safety standards (DEWA/SEWA environments)?

Yes. The Fluke 179 is rated CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V, engineered to protect operators against transient high-energy surges up to 8,000V. It meets strict international electrical safety standards applicable to utility, municipal, and industrial installations across the GCC.

How does the Fluke 179 compare to the Fluke 87V for motor drive diagnostics?

While the Fluke 179 is ideal for general electrical and HVAC maintenance, the Fluke 87V is specifically equipped with a selectable low-pass filter for measuring noisy signals on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and delivers higher display resolution (up to 19,999 counts).
