EEVblog #66 - Death & Destruction of a Fluke Multimeter

Dave goes on a several hundred km adventure in order to completely destroy the Fluke 28-II multimeter.
Short of blowing it up with explosives, will he succeed, or will it live to measure another day?

i would not recommend jumping into the water with a helmet on it can snap your neck. it acts like a parachute when u submerge in water and a sudden stop can kill u. allot of soldiers died that way in ww2.

@dk038967 Not with canyoning helmets, they are ultra light weight and designed for that, see the holes in the sides?

@cyklopek11 What makes you think that? No, I am not sponsored by Fluke, they just gave me the product to review any way I wanted.

Hey Dave I just bought the Ryobi (Tek 4) multimeter. It seems pretty good. Can you test it out and let me know what you think about it.

@RTEK4 Given that your username is RTEK4, I smell something  rotten...

Do it with the Vichy, haha! That would probably disintegrate.

AWESOME

don't do that ever again with a fluke, just give it to me if you don't like it ;).

Drive over it with a steamroller. If that doesn't crack the case nothing will. But because steamrollers are not easy to find, try rolling over it with your car!

@Intosia They do. Casio GzOne Commando C771. Although sand and water won't get in, not enough light gets out in the desert. You can't see the screen in bright sunlight. I did use it to take pictures and make phone calls from a dam, but didn't drop it over the dam.

@bulby130 I bet the Fluke will survive at terminal velocity so doesn't mater how high you drop it lol
