Do you hang yours around your neck like a doctor with a stethoscope @happysteve or is it just me (Dr Me!)

Ha! Actually, yes I do!

Why would a spark need to pretend to be a doctor? ....booked weeks in advance...knowing stare,as the bad news is delivered...illegible writing...you're already there...

Why would a doctor need to pretend to be a spark?. ..... Bound by legislation,...... buried in paperwork,...... Needing the patient (sic) of a Saint .

I have had my Fluke T2 for 15/16 years which didn’t cost me anything.
Not sure if it’s GS38 compliant?
Does ELV down to 6V and can test continuity.
Also have a couple of Fluke Volt sticks, one with a button and one without.
Prefer the Fluke Volt sticks to other makes.

Since there is a belief the T150 has been the subject of a recall by Fluke, I emailed them yesterday. This is their response...

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that the T150 is not included in any safety recalls currently and we are working through the backlog to clear all outstanding orders, this may take 2-3 months.

As you may know, we have worked through design improvement cycles of the TPOLE testers in an effort to continuously improve product reliability, including cable construction and optimization of the strain relief on both the main body and probe end cable connections. Recently, we have received additional feedback from the field regarding the TPOLE testers that suggests additional improvements could be made. Therefore, we decided to stop shipping this product family until improvements were made. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and want to reaffirm our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

So, no safety recall, but product improvements. Good on Fluke

Not sure I agree with "Good on them"

That basically says that there are known defects in the product family but they are not recalling them as they can get away with not doing so. But if you have one there is a good chance it may not work soon.

Hmmm, I was just about to purchase a Fluke but not sure what to make of that email, having second thoughts now.
