[adzs22]

Evening All, I'm looking at buying a fluke multifunction tester between 250-350. Could ant one suggest the best sort of model around for that price?
mainly work in domestic settings
cheers guys.

The 1651 is the basic MFT. You wont get a new one but should get a used one with calibration of EBAY within your budget. May even get a 1652

The 1651 maybe basic, but it is more than adequate for the job. Doesn't do phase rotation or RCD ramp, but does everything else. I had one for years, great bit of kit once you get used to it.
Make sure you get all the leads etc, and there should be a mini CD, this has the instruction manual on it, but if it is missing, then you can download one from Fluke FOC.

I agree, I still have a 1651 as a spare, only wish it had auto RCD and ramp. Recently replaced my 1502 Megger with a 1720 and very pleased with it

Its what I'm used to working with, never had any problems with them and it's my first tester for myself.
