What is the difference (except price) between this and Fluke's IntelliToner?

I'm fairly certain this one won't do active cables connected to a switch as compared to the Fluke Intellitone Pro 200. Besides that it won't be as sensitivity as the Fluke. I search far and wide the best choice the is Fluke. The last thing you want to get stuck in the field not able to tone a cable or takes you hours on end.

I have only used the Fluke version one time, so I really cant give you the best info. This unit worked very well for my novice field tech's and the fluke also worked well and didn't require and real training. so in my opinion take the cheap one.

Printed on the side of mine: FLUKE 62 MINI IR THERMOMETER. Dunno difference in specifications between AR550 vs 62, all I know is for my application -- cooking perfect pancakes -- it works quite well.

Fluke's web site shows that the Max+ is better in every respect except battery life with laser and backlight on (10 vs. 8 hours) but Amazon inverted the prices today so there's no trade-off to make: Top-end: 500 versus 650 C Accuracy above 0 C: greater of 1.5 C or 1.5% versus greater of 1.0 C or 1.0% Response Time: &lt;500 ms versus &lt;300 ms Optical Resolution: 10:1 versus 12:1 Repeatability: greater of 0.8% of reading or &lt;1.0 C (2 F) versus greater of 0.5% of reading or &lt;0.5 C (1 F) For my uses measuring attic temperatures, fry pans, fuse boxes, computer chips, hard drives and compact florescent bulb ballasts that seem to get hot before failing, either model would be fine. I hope that getting a Fluke means that this will tolerate static electricity and drops better and maintain accuracy as the battery wears down or the sensor ages so the specs actually mean something.

Yes, it will work with that model according to the compatible product list from fluke.

DarcelInstead of a flip "I do not know". please permit me to say that I have never used nor owned a Klien, so I could not compare the two units side by side. Fluke has been beside me with every electrical project I have attempted since getting it and I have not had any failures yet. One heresay comment came from my neighbor who was helping me with a complicated electrical problem and when he saw the Fluke, he volunteered 'Wow, you have a Fluke. That's a fine tool.' Sorry for such a long I do not know the answer, John

I researched both before I purchased mine and determined that there wasn't a significant difference. I'm currently happy with this (but I guess I wouldn't know if something large enough to be damaging has occurred since I installed it). The specs and ratings looked functionally similar, however the more expensive one has a lifetime limited vs 10 year warranty and the $25k equipment coverage.

I have had three of them because they last about 3 years. I keep getting them because I like the ease of use with the clamp on amp meter and dual display. I have found it accurate at reading capacitance, taking a few seconds to read the mfd. One of my techs had the Fieldpiece multi meter. I like the UEI model better than Fieldpiece since I don't have to switch heads to read Amps and then volts. I can do either or both very easily. Maybe more expensive Fluke would last longer but not so sure with everything, including some Flukes coming from China. Thats my story, and I'm sticking with it.

I ordered the Fluke 116 from right here and it comes with the integrated K thermocouple. However, it comes with standard black/red test leads, and not the colorful ones shown in the picture.

To my knowledge there is no difference. Sometimes when searching products on Amazon, I've found prices on exact products differ greatly, depending on the individual companies selling the item. As for working with Win 8 - I'm not sure but there is a Cook'n Version 11 review on the Amazon site that says they are using it with 8 so I would assume it's the same program but you can check that review out to be safe. Good luck and hope you enjoy Cook'n as much as I do!

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

Be sure to buy quality tools, such as Wiha, Fluke, Knipex, etc. Don't always go for the cheapest or the minimum. You will thank yourself later.

I don't know the technical aspects of the differences since I haven't tried both types with my computer. Sorry.

I personally believe so. Fluke is the only name in industrail enviorment when it comes to meters(controls and instermintation tech here) and I wont trudt my life with any other brand. That being said, never depend on tools alone. Use good habbits, always make sure the detector works on a known live circuit to make sure its not malfuctioning.

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

I have both, as far as I can tell there is no difference. They both work the same. Buy whichever cost less. I think it's more of a style thing...

I had it fail to read continuity twice, rendering it not trustworthy, and the beep is fairly delayed. It is certainly not as fast as a Fluke 115/117. I returned mine.

The tech specs are the same according to sweetwater.com (resistance, frequency etc.). Sweetwater also has the price listed as the same though so if you're leaning toward one over the other because of the color then I bet you could find a better price somewhere.
