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.

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.
 
I do little domestic work also, so I guess they would be of little use to me, I don't know about other MFT's but mine has a test button on the probe so I don't usually need to get a third hand to the meter.
