Fluke makes great stuff. Hard to go wrong with their stuff in your "go bag." And another vote for a large USB stick. And if you can find a small screwdriver kit with a lot of different sizes and types and don't forget about Torx.
Yes,.. Fluke is the standard when talking about testing and metering. I would love to have some of their gear,.. but there is a limit on what I need / much less afford. They make some of the best DVM and network tools.
Absolutely agree. You'll pry my 179 from my cold dead fingers.
Haha! This thread just made my day

Let me get my pry bar....

@gjacobse I should have purchased a 179 instead of the many cheaper brands i've purchased.

Any chance you could hook me up with a fuse for my 179? I'm really attached to both my arms and legs which seems to be the going rate for one of them.

Why, hello there! Unfortunately, Fluke and Fluke Networks are actually two separate operating companies (most people don't know that) and although I can usually track down answers to questions, I don't have any pull when it comes to getting free Fluke stuff.
But if you ever need help on the networking gear, I'm your girl! -

It's separate Divisions a lot companies do this. We do. Emerson does it too.

Like NTG and the NTG Lab

I know, the whole Fluke/Fluke Networks things is SO confusing! Fluke Networks was actually born out of Fluke (and thus why it has the same brand name/colors), and at some point decided to split off into it's own company (no idea why). We were still owned by the same parent company, and talk with each other a lot, but were totally separate.
And to make it even more complicated, Fluke Networks was actually recently divided, the cable certifiers are still with Fluke, but the networking side of our test portfolio was acquired by NETSCOUT! Including me, and the testers we chatted about here in this thread. Oye!

@Jason You missed the point. It was a joke...
