I’m looking at buying a new Fluke 87V and a the tlk282 automotive test lead kit. Does anyone know who has the best price of the authorized dealers? I want an authorized dealer so I can make sure I retain the lifetime warranty. Does Zoro offer % off coupons that can be used on Fluke?

Fluke leads are way overpriced. Pick up the Probe Master 9104R kit and grab some back probes from AESwave if you need them.
That will knock $80 off right there.

depends on the specific set of probes, but generally, i'd buy pomona or probemaster over fluke probes. often the price and/or quality is better than fluke.
nice choice on the 87V btw. one of the best meters out there if it has all the features you need.

I like the AESWave shielded leads. Really, I can't say any leads I've ever had are "bad". they're consumables, they'll eventually get sucked into a belt system, slammed in a door, melted on an exhaust, etc. ESI and AESwave are my usual first choices for kits. I think the leads on my meter now are generic silicone leads off amazon.
Aside from being made with crummy insulation, how can meter leads really be made poorly? Meter leads need tested and sanity-checked just like a test light.

Amazon seems to have the best price for the meter itself, at $375. Since it is shipped and sold by Amazon, there should be no issue of knock-offs from third party sellers.
As for leads, whichever brand, I like to set up my meter with the leads that have an angled plug on one end and a straight plug on the other. That way you can switch probes without having to have a lot of leads laying around. Just buy the separate probes that accept the straight plug on your lead, and you have a variety of probes to work with one set of leads.

I have both Fluke and Probemaster leads and the PM leads seem like better quality.I hadn’t thought about using a different brand of leads. Are they of equal quality?
