I could not recommend the the Fluke 365 clamp meter.
As you try and withdraw the clamp from a wire being tested for current, the clamp sometimes snags or hooks on the wire and drags it back with the clamp. (low res photos included)
This is of real concern if a wire is not properly secured and could expose the operator to dangerous voltage if the wire being tested becomes dislodged. This has already happened to me.
The screen is hard to read at angles other than direct straight on, with or without the back light.
The built in led torch is nothing short of a joke and could only be useful in absolute pitch black darkness. In dimly lit areas it makes no visible difference. A bit of a waste of space.
The 0.1 resolution is that of a cheaper meter, it should be 0.01.
The removable clamp does not secure firmly in the cradle, it keeps coming out. The retainer or clip that holds it in place does not appear nearly strong enough.
Overall the meter feels cheaply made and I think Fluke have missed the mark with the 365.
Therefore I could not recommend the purchase of the Fluke 365 clamp meter.

Flimsy Shell, detachable jaws don’t hold well.
Flimsy Shell, detachable jaws don’t hold well.
Bought this ac/dc clamp Fluke 365 to use as marine electrician, troubleshooting on boats and yachts, where saltwater and corrosion are common, and stainless and aluminum are very common.
I am disappointed because the detachable jaws falls out too easy, outer shell is flimsy compared to other fluke clamps.
But the worst is that I wrote to Fluke to buy a replacement shell and they DENY selling the replacement part, and DENIED having same problems with others clients.... even if it is clearly stated on several “Reviews”
FLUKE launched the same product in a no-detachable versión the “362”..... so they know the problem, but deny it.
I do not recommend this frágil shell for a detachable clamp jaws.

Excellent for tight cabinets.
I purchased this for the small jaws and jaw dismount. Thin body is nice as well.
I just wish it had capacitor test feature!!!!
The hvac clamp fluke 276 jaws are to big for commercial package units and others.
Love this slim,small jaw clamp meter.
My 87v see the bulk of work and 265 for current only.

Good basic clamp meter.
I bought this for use at home and to provide my kids with some basic knowledge of electricity. Also bought an AC Line Splitter to be able to show them the loads of various appliances around the house. Only wish is for better resolution. One item I had to laugh at was the magnet that comes with it. There was also a warning not to let it get near the clamp...which is where it gets mounted...seems like a questionable design.

Great Meter
I use this meter while working on my Motor Home which has 12 volt DC and 120 Volt/50 Amp service. The reach with the detachable clamp is great for hard to reach and tight spaces.

Excellent Clamp Meter
I do a lot work in small cabinets and having the detachable jaws is a huge help when you cant fit the whole meter into a space. Once you zero the meter out it holds it and gives you a true reading. I compared it to a shunt on a Cathodic Protection Rectifier and both readings exact. Only one decimal place is the only flaw i see what the meter. The handy magnetic strap that comes with it is also a plus.

Ease of use
Fluke 365 Detachable Jaw True RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter is very versatile. Great for getting amp readings in tight places. Jaws are big enough to clamp around larger wires too.

Has Great Features but....
I love the idea of a detachable clamp and its easy to use but it does not have enough resolution for more in depth troubleshooting. Great if your just measuring quick and dirty but not if you need more detail on the devices you are measuring. It would be awesome to have that capability with that deatchable probe.

Falls short
Needs greater resolution than +-0.1A, +-0.1V on DC and AC.
Specifications not on web site.
Won't zero on DCV.
Needs in-circuit current metering.
Selector dial doesn't align with function.
Selector dial knurling hard to use - should be along entire edge of dial; not recessed.
Poor quality leads. No alligator clips.
Back light good.
Nice case, but it's a bit tight.

Great Handy Tool in the solar field
I work in the solar business , It is very handy during the installations , The clamp is big to go around the 110 line in the main service panel , it helps to detect any drop in the amps, hi quality and dependability tool .

Pleased with appearance and construction. Can easily verify that a timed relay DC circuit is working correctly.

No Min Max Feature
There is no Min Max feature on this meter and this is important to me.

Switch is flimsy
Bought this thing to use as industrial electrical trouble shooter to replace a T5. This had ac/dc on the current range and a higher resolution on the Ohms range. For motors you want a higher ohm range so you can get a better picture if troubleshooting many different kinds like 110 volt up to 480 and both AC/DC. We have a lot of 24v ac/dc
It is further clumsy to use because I work in a food prcessing plant and subject to high amounts of water. What that means is most our stuff is stainless so magnet is useless. Trying to keep the clamp head in place and roll out the leads is not fun.
I am a Fluke fan for many years but this disappointed me and I'm out $249.00. You don't get a solid strong switch action like other Fluke meters.
I was supposed to get a FREE Fluke LVD1 light from BEST IN TEST but I have a PO Box but we are converting to 911 for snail mail.
If you work in a plant where your meter is laying in a roll around tool box and stuff you work on is not all stainless then perhaps this might be ok.
