I've seen some stupid t**ts in my time here.

I think you're all being unfair.

Wasn't SidRam doing exactly what you all advocate so profusely?

Namely, inspection and testing.

Because of inadequate equipment he thought there was a fault and so asked.

Twenty quid for a multimeter??????????? The one I bought for general use (ohms, DC volts, AC volts - useless for current over 200mA) cost me £6.49 at the local bazaar-warehouse, but I will admit to paying more than £20 for a clamp meter!

It depends what multimeter...His maybe better than yours.

TTC gave me exactly the info I needed, got a multimeter, there was current that my poxy little Rapitest didn't pick up

.

It's a pleasure. But I think reading up on the fundamentals of electricity may be in order. Your Rapitest will never ever detect current. It will only detect voltage. Current only ever flows if there is a voltage (potential) and a load is placed across the voltage source.

Oh look - it's one of our resident SFBs who doesn't think that anybody (except me) should ever be criticised for anything they do, no matter how wrong it is.

PLIC.

He was "testing" a 12V supply with an instrument clearly designed to indicate nothing lower than 110V.

Please explain the word "thought".

Please explain the word "thought".

Wikipedia - never knowingly wrong:
Thought is a mental process which allows beings to be conscious, make decisions, imagine and, in general, operate on symbols in a rational or irrational manner.

I'd better go and put that right....
