Save when you buy the Fluke 179 Multimeter & ToolPak™ Magnetic Meter Hanging Kit together.
We have bundled these two products together so they can be ordered with a single part number at a lower price than purchasing the items separately. Now you can get more out of your Fluke 179 Digital Multimeter with the ToolPak Magnetic Meter Hanging Kit.
Now you can hang you meter almost anywhere with the new Fluke ToolPak accessories kit. ToolPak includes a universal hanger, a magnet, a 17-inch (23 cm) "hook-and-loop" hanger strap.
The universal hanger is designed to fit into the special module on the back of the meter. The universal hanger allows you to hang your meter on a nail, hook or other object. You can add a piece of rope, flexible wire or cable to hang the meter in almost any position.
The 17-inch (23 cm) hook-and-loop strap is used with Fluke's universal hanger to wrap around and connect to a pipe, beam or any other convenient support structure.
And finally, the strong magnet accessory will attach to an electrical panel, a metal doorjamb or any other ferrous-type metal.
Each Meter includes a 9V battery, test leads, ruber holster with stand and manual
