According to the webster dictionary. A "Fluke'' means stroke of luck.
So if you ever got it to work it's a stroke of luck.

Just kidding. Are they the yellow ones meters, or is that "Ideal"?

I have a 335.....it affects a lot of us....I just got the MH newsletter too and was going to post the info my self........but you and WirenutGP beat me to it:smile:

At least Fluke is very proactive with this kind of stuff. I still think there the best!

Yeah , It is serious bussiness. I should not have made light of it. That is our main tool, right?

Why doesn't this surprise me when I read on the picture "Made in China"

I am starting to think that in addition to "Made in China" there should be printed, in large bright letters, "CAUTION - Use At Your Own Risk"

my fluke 337 is not part of the recall

I'm happy for you.:smile:

Thanks for the OP.

My 333 is part of the recall.

I appreciate the heads up.

Sometimes words have a way of acquiring other meanings with time. Like Cadillac - maybe not much longer - became synonymous with the meaning of something luxurious and well made. "Made in China" is becoming to mean something cheap, unreliable an imitation of the 'original', etc.

It has meant that to me for years, and getting worse by the day. Nothing lasts anymore these days.

After reading the other post on this yesterday, I called my coworkers that have this type meter. They told me the local supply house had the Fluke guy there last week checking them and he brought biscuits. They didn't tell me! I don't have one of the clamp types, but , I missed free food!
