Here's the
Not Made In Rome Fluke 28-II/28 11/28-ii/28!!/28 Round#2/28-2 RELOADED Fluke 87V MAX Youtube video > youtube.com/watch?v=iInW6CL3RFE
afaict they aren't really 'roughing it', in fact any decent meter in a zipped lunch bag might handle those 'extremes' just as well.
Perhaps the cash strapped film crew with the sweaty muddied tradie actors only had one
28-MAX/87FATBOY meter to work with?
Better value to fly in and tradie dressup EEVblog host DJ in that shoot,
showing punters how it's actually used in the field, the modes, apps, proving, and precautions,
and how lead tangles and pinches, drops, drags, stomps and selector oopsies happen.
Bonus footage: what to do with worksite tool and multimeter snatchers

Is there a difference between the fluke 27/28 series and this 87v max?
Fluke Corporation
Hi there - Yes, the 87V MAX is a step above the original, successful 28 II. The 87V MAX is the most rugged DMM Fluke has ever built, drop-tested to 4 meters (over 13 feet), while offering a waterproof, dustproof IP67 rated case. The 87V MAX also gives the user TL157 TwistGuard™ test leads. These test leads not only offer adjustable CAT ratings through the TwistGuard probe tips, they remain flexible and usable from -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F) – the first time both a meter and its test leads have carried such an extreme environmental operating range.

@Fluke Corporation Aside from the additional meter of drop rating, the rest of the technical specs of this DMM appear to be identical to the 28II, not the 87V like the marketing literature implies. The description on Flukes website says "The 87V MAX contains all the trusted features of the most popular DMM used today, the Fluke 87V, plus much more", but that statement is not true, for example the diode test function is not created equal to the 87V DMM it is identical to the 28II. Why was this model not labeled as the 28III since that product line is what it most closely resembles?" --------------------

EDIT: after a curiosity search
for Fluke Corporation's mention of
"TL157 TwistGuard™ test leads" (
)
there is no such item, perhaps a typo and meant the
TL175 TwistGuard™ test leads >
www.fluke.com/en-us/product/accessories/test-leads/fluke-tl175which fwiw are one of the better/best/hard to beat multimeter test lead sets I've used
Perhaps the scrape and rebadge
TL157MAX leads were late for the revamp party?
