I have a Fluke 110 with a missing battery case screw. Anyone know the exact size replacement? I've tried, but haven't been able to figure out the size, and I can't find it listed online anywhere.

If anyone else has an answer, I'd appreciate it as well. Don't know if they'll answer today.

The Fluke 111 that I have has a different screw (see pics below). I've had it quite a while. Maybe the screws above are for a later version.
screw thread O.D. : 0.125" (1/8")
screw thread I.D. : 0.085"
shank dia. under head: 0.115"
overall length: 0.801"
head dia: 0.238"
screw pitch: 14 threads/inch Fluke_111_battery_cover_screw2cc.jpg Fluke_111_battery_cover_screw1cc.jpg Fluke_111_frontc.jpg

That looks more like a case screw than a battery-cover screw.

I agree, because it's also a case screw. I may have an older version of the meter. The top of the threading within the recessed hole in the picture below starts 0.40" below the top surface of the battery cover. So a 6mm long screw will not even be long enough to start engaging the threads.

Oooo! That's an idea - I can remove a case screw and see if it works, that way I'll know which one I really need!

I would check whether there's just two case screws left on your meter, with just a hole for the battery cover near the bottom of the back side of the meter. In other words, similar to the pictures in my post #9. The case screws are long, so you wouldn't want to screw them in all the way if you have a different setup on your meter (because there might be some circuit board or parts in the way). See if the threads are deeply recessed like in my last picture.

It's a case screw. I moved one of the two "upper" screws to the battery case position. I'm going take the meter to the Orange store this morning and see if I can find a replacement that's close enough.

Thank-you everyone!!!
