It's a bit of a shame that Fluke uses Facebook for publishing official statements.
Other than that... well, good reaction from Fluke. I'd say all events, from seizing the multimeters to the resolution today, unfolded in the best way possible.
- lrem 13y agoApart from the part where the law turned out to be so broken to make it happen...
- mindcrime 13y agoIndeed. But given that the law is what it is, this is a fairly good response from Fluke. More than I expected, TBH.
- bfrog 13y agoIts not broken if you consider it protecting the companies of the united states from knock offs. That company that made those multimeters had the full rainbow of colors and an infinite choice of shapes, dials, displays to choose from. They basically decided fluke was great, copied almost everything, sold it cheaper. If it were your product, which was a high quality product, and some cheap knock offs came in with basically everything the same but the label... you would not be happy.
- dTal 13y agoOh come on. Every multimeter I've ever owned was yellow. The Sparkfun multimeters look like every other cheap multimeter, and decidedly unlike Fluke's. It's not even the same damn shade of yellow. This is pointless waste and a huge scandal.
- michael_h 13y agoEvery multimeter I've ever owned was yellow. Fluke is yellow border with a dark gray/black face. Not 'yellow multimeter'.
- joezydeco 13y agoDoes that mean Fluke forfeits the right to try and stop the flow of knockoff products?
- dTal 13y agoDid you miss where I said "The Sparkfun multimeters look like every other cheap multimeter, and decidedly unlike Fluke's"? I reject the premise that any yellow multimeter is a "knockoff product". You can buy similar multimeters in any Radio Shack in the world.
- haptiK 13y agoExplain to me why it's a shame to have used Facebook?
- mixologic 13y agoFacebook isn't the web. Its a siloed private service. A company the size and reputation of Fluke should have their very own website that they can put messages like that on. Otherwise, they're merely giving facebook revenue by having that many more pageview opportunities to show everybody ads.
