Please give numerical data to compare to the Fluke. How do you know that the Fluke gives a better reading?

You don't! Best check is to take a given capacitor and test the capacitance value with both meters and see if their readings agree. Otherwise having the units compared to National Bureau of Standards or the equivalent international organization by a test equipment repair and calibration facility is the only truly accurate way of assuring that any piece of test equipment is reading true.

I own a Fluke 112 True RMS Multimeter that can measure capacitance. I compared measurements on my Fluke and the Honeytek on ten different value/type capacitors. The Fluke gave reading that were consistent with value of the capacitors measured whereas the Honeytek gave erratic readings, some as much as 20% off the stated value. I gave the Honeytek away. If you do not care about accuracy or quality of your test instruments, buy the Honeytek.

I have not compared the accuracy of this product. However, just today I tested my filtered water and then decided to test the water as it came from the spigot. The water from the spigot showed over a 2.0 reading. I check my filtered water periodically. If the reading is near or above 0.6, I then change the filter on my pitcher. I've been very pleased.

No, and also I have found that when comparing it with other scales I and my friends have, it seems to give a lower percentage reading then the others, on this one measurement. In fact its number is about half of what the others report.

The colors are very similar. It is more like shades of gray than black and white. They give you an idea of where the pH is, but they don't scream out 6.75 and not 6.5 or 7. The extra color just helps you nail down the reading, or give you confidence in the reading.

Here are the manuals:87: http://physics.ucsd.edu/neurophysics/Manuals/Fluke/87______umeng080087V (80 V series): http://www.fluke87v.com/crm_uploads/fe_80v_users_manual_1.pdfDepending on your use, there are quite a few notable differences. For me, the 87V's ability to measure temperature is of utmost importance. But some enjoy the Hi-Res mode of the 87V even more.

Physics are never wrong. Excellent accuracy once it is calibrated. That is my experience.

I came across this site by accident. It explains a lot of things that people might not know will affect their readings. 1) temperature of the liquid 2) how deep the meter is in the liquid 3) how settled the liquid is around the meter, bubbles affect readings. http://www.chemistryland.com/CHM130FieldLab/Lab2/Lab2.html

I'd like to know, too. My two are quite different. One seems clearly to be at 5, and the other at 6.25.

To make sure your model of Fluke equipment is compatible, go to the Fluke website.

I tested it with the meter and saw very little in difference in the number. I took it out and replaced it with a zero water pitcher. Big difference. I'm sold on zero water. By the way the reading was 62 with the brondell from 68. Marietta Water

I think your money would be better spent on a good Fluke or equivalent multimeter. If you are wiring a car or working with old wiring trying to find shorts, this is a good unit, but it is overkill for basic electrical circuit testing. All the directions are on CD, so it is a pain when you need to reference them. If I had a chance for a do-over, I would go with a higher end Fluke meter.

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.

I do not know. But I will tell you that I returned mine because I could not get accurate readings from it.

I'm not sure but over had mine 2 years with no issues. Been dropped a few times, always reads accurately. I've compared it side by side with a fluke 789

I agree with David, invest in a better tach for your application unless you're always close to shore. This (and similar items) is NOT a high quality precision product. It's a cheap solution to track non-critical service revs. Besides, I would highly doubt the readout would be bright enough on the water based on mine.

Robert: the unit gives water temperature, depth immediately below the unit, and speed (but no compass type info). Hope that helps. Good unit. Jo

Not sure what you mean. If you're asking how accurate it senses depth it depends. Sometimes it has been pretty accurate other times not. Don't expect any accuracy more than 6 inches deep.
