Picked up a FLUKE 8000A Digital Multimeter (92270) at the yard for a
couple dollars. Seems to power up but no leads came with it. No doc's
either, can I use some Radio Shack test leads with this unit ?

As long as the pins fit the jacks on the Fluke, leads is leads, as
they say. As long as you're only testing standard stuff, and not
something that requires a special probe.
Couple dollars is good..... I've always gone by the credo that
"Cheap is good, free is better". I picked up an HP bench DMM for
$20, and was given a Simpson bench DMM for free, so both of
those fit the credo.....

You can use anything that has banana plugs on it. Personally, though, I'd
buy the nice silicone wire and the probe parts and make my own leads.

Hi
I you live in the silicon valley, Halted had a bunch
of nice test lead sets. These look like they were
made for military in that they are sealed in those
paper/aluminum/plastic bags. They include all kinds
of screw-in attachments. ( If they are not all sold out )

Any test leads that fit should work fine. I have a manual for a Fluke
8020A if it will help.
