Fluke 17B vs UNI-T UT139C for hobby, owned both
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2026 11:00 pm
Pamangkin tanong kung worth Fluke price tag for hobby. Used both for years.
Fluke wins: input protection, AC current at low Hz, build quality. Dropped mine twice, still working.
UNI-T fine for: bench DC voltage, resistance. Backlit display, lower battery drain.
Hobby reality: if <200V, no industrial transients, UNI-T saves PHP 6-8k. Spend the difference on tools you actually use.
What meter you running? Aneng users, masulit ba talaga PHP 500 ones?
