When I had to replace my last Knopp, I got both. T+Pro and a Knopp, the best of both worlds.:) 99% of the time the Fluke gets the job done, but sometimes it likes to read induced voltage, then the Knopp gets pulled out.

I'm really liking the continuity function as well as the rotation meter. Very handy. Just don't expect the rotation meter to work properly on a high-leg system.

I was sold on the Fluke when I was troubleshooting a mobile catering trailer- poking though the panel looking for voltages, it did it's continuity beep where it shouldn't have. That led me to a N-G short in a receptacle. (Under the sink, of course. IIRC it also had the N and H swapped.)

As for phase rotation, I'd rather trust a 3-lead meter to the Fluke 2-lead method, but I suppose if is works, it works.

NEW JOISEY fugget about it!
the t-pro+ seems to "shake" a lot more than the old school "wiggys" i think thats a pretty nice feature. the t-pro has no dmm face, seems kinda pointless, especially because its only a bit cheaper than the t+. imho.

what do you think of the volt alert feature on some of the newer fluke dmms?????
