My FLUKE 77 multimeter has a pretty good snap-on rubber carrying case that
has a belt hook and snap-in recesses for parking the test probes. My beef
is that when the test leads are wound around the meter and the test probes
stored in place the leads cannot be wound snugly. I wish FLUKE and other
instrument manufacturers will provide the right length of wire leads so that
everything can be stored neatly.

Wrap them the other way. They wrap nicely on the 187 in one direction but
not in the other.

It must have been a left-handed engineer who designed it!

I typed 187 but meant 179. Was thinking on an RCA chassis in for repair.
