I don't believe Fluke makes any models without a lifetime warranty. I remember asking a customer service agent this question in the mid-90's, because one of the techs I was working with tried to measure high voltage off a tv flyback with his. It was literally hit by lightning! The agent said if you never registered it, and the unit is old and expensive, sometimes they charge a small fee to register the unit and the repair or replacement is free. After that, if the same unit needs repair, it is free to repair, forever.
The unit I have been using since I left the electronic service industry is the 12B. After not needing the extra functionality of the greater units, I sold them. If I need to measure current, most of my maintenance buddies have the models with the built-in current clamp.
