    Worth calibrating a Di-Log tester?

    I forgot I had a Di-Log 9803P so called '17th Edition Tester!?', it was a rash ebay purchase a long while ago intended as a spare, and I discarded it when I thought it didn't have a high-current loop test. In fact there is a convoluted way of doing this but it wasn't in the original manual. An...

    Robin KTS 1620 MULTI TESTER

    Hiya Sparks, I've recently acquired a robin kts1620. It's in good clean condition but has a fault. When it's cold (been in van over night) it works great, but when it gets to room temperature the relay does not click and it keeps restarting. It's a bit strange, has anyone heard of this before...

    My cheap and cheerful voltage tester packed up just before Christmas, so need to replace it (It lasted longer than the more expensive one I had before that broke at the cable joint to the second probe).

    Need to upgrade my tester

    My ten year old Megger MFT1553 is nearing the end of its life so 2022 will see it replaced. What is the current decent MFT out there? I’m quite liking the Fluke 1664 FC at the moment but cannot discount the Megger range. Must do all 18th Ed tests and EV Chargers, robust and easy to use.
