useful. but you still have to get to the cpc terminal.also, if using megger leads, you have a problem where they don't make contact.

A useful bit of kit, especially if you have a 3 wire earth loop impedance tester.

Im currently waiting for my merger mft 1553 in the mail. should of came today and it turns out APL have ether lost it or its been stolen...fun fun so now i have to wait 24 hours about that -.- im new to testing and i want to learn as much as i can while i have the free time but i have seen some people struggle on jobs where they or do the job awkwardly because they dont have more then 2 hands haha is there anymore useful bits of kit that can make testing easyer?

Definitely a useful purchase and would say get one.

The only thing I've noticed is that when doing R1 + R2 readings they can show up a bit higher than removing the fitting.

Gaffer Tape .. just use a bit to stick your probes to the terminals while you conduct the test.

The only reason I have never got these is because surely you need to take the fitting down to determine it is the last light on the circuit, in most cases anyway. Unless people are testing all fittings and just taking the highest reading.

I might get a set though

I have a set and a Martindale Proving Unit ....... I don't think I've ever used either. They look impressive lying in the top tray of the toolbox though.

Like Geordie I have a set but very rarely use them as I do mostly commercial work, but for domestic testing they are very good as free up one hand once plugged in and your leads are connected.

Well I'm retired but when I was working and it came to test gear it was my Regin Premier 45 that got the most use.
