Which multifunction tester

[electrospark]

Looking at getting a new tester. I have used both fluke and megger but was wondering what other peoples opinions where and if you'd had any issues?

Any advice guys?

Megger for me.

I've used Alphatek for many years, but find them a pig to zero the leads.

I love my Metrel, but the new ones are rubbish.

I love my Metrel, but the new ones are rubbish.

They dont seem to last long before needing to go back to the repair dept. and they take ages to turn them around as well.

Megger 1720 is a nice bit of kit

I think as long as you stick to fluke or megger you cant go too far wrong

We bust that was a year old, and metrel returned it as unrepairable. They were so difficult to use, and the batteries would often last only a few days.

I do like the thin probe with a test button on that fluke do.

I have a company megger 1710 at the moment but I do miss the auto rcd testing from my old fluke. I want to buy my own tester so really have a budget of about £500.
Looking for the auto rcd testing and dloc to avoid the tripping on loop testing...

Keep an eye on ebay. I got a fluke 1652 with phase rotation for £250 in mint condition. Like new. Chap who had it had just retired.
