new electrical tools advice please

[SniperOne]

I am looking for a set of Screwdrivers (been looking at the Dextros) and a Digital Multimeter and was just wondering if anyone can advice what is worth looking at please?

 

[ColJack]

will this be for pro / every day use or diy / occasional use?

do you intend to buy another set of plain screwdrivers for doing general work / opening paint tins etc?

I am a plumber and am just doing my Part P Full Scope so will be for professional use but not everyday so hopefully no need to by a Fluke yet lol.

I certainly wont be using them to open paint tins lol and have a nice set of general work screwdivers already.

In the context of the EAWR, GS38 etc, what will you be using a multimeter for?

For screwdrivers Wera or Knipex, multimeter has to be Fluke.

Anything else is a false economy.

been using a Fluke 1652 all in one tester over past week so going down that route and agree with those screwdrivers, cheers.

Don't Fluke now own everybody of any note except Megger?

Anyway - multimeter - look on eBay for an Avo 8 - nothing better was ever made - the Mk 7 cost nearly £1K when it went out of production a year or so ago.
