Will I continue to use this, yes but selectively. No other wires were even slightly in the jaws though so not ideal as panel boxes are frequently pretty tight. I have even had it read over 300 volts on a 120 wire but was in a tight panel box so guessing it was picking up from the other nearby wires as well. Many times this voltage error doesn’t matter, but if you need and accurate value. Read 135 with volt sense and yes, negative lead was properly stowed per directions, finger on ground and green light good ground indication on meter lit. Voltage on a 120 breaker read 125 volts with leads on this and another meter. I was reading a 350 watt heater on a circuit in a panel box. I’m using residentially so maybe with higher currents/ voltages it would be closer. It’s a cool toy but when the values matter rather than is it 120 or 240 volts or some current draw or not, I switch to something else. Works fine with leads but even with proper use voltage can be notably off and even current readings not always accurate. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned

If something happens to this meter I would probably just go back to my T5-1000 and not purchase another T6 model Read full review Might be a better deal if it were priced a bit lower tho. The nice thing about the meter is the wide jaw that allows you to get amperage readings on 3/0 wire. It is at least good for checking wires that are going through a gutter that are not color coded to determine which ones are power or neutral. When you use the fieldsense and have the black probe touching a good ground then the readings are closer but usually about 10-15 volts higher than the actual voltage. It seem that when fieldsense is used with the probes in the meter and your finger on the back little pad that the voltage readings can be all over the board as far as the accuracy. Still trying to give the "fieldsense" a fair shake. For higher voltage applications check out the Fluke T5-1000. Just select volts, ohms, or current and the tester does the rest. Use it to check voltage, continuity, and current, all with one compact, rugged tool. Temperature coefficient: 0.I have used this about 20 times. The T5-600 Electrical Tester is a versatile troubleshooting tool you can carry to every job site.Volts indicator LED threshold: Guaranteed on by 30 V AC.Continuity beeper threshold: On at 400 Ω.Accuracy AC current (50/60 Hz): 3% ± 3 counts.
