Must stop doing this!

[Guest111]

Went to car boot this morning and came back with a Megger loop tester and insulation tester,just bought a new mft last week so now got a spare mft as well,trouble was the meters were a bargain and I couldnt resist,maybe I need to get out more?

 

[sparkdog]

Yes,I can't resist a nice Megger either if the price is right.

One can never have too many testers.... :drool5:

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Sounds more like you need to get out less, or just don't go to boot sales.

 

[Andy78]

Nothing wrong with buying heaps of cheap testers. As long as you are ebaying them for beer money. That is what you are doing right ?

I reckon he's got a tool fetish.
I bet he's got loads of catalogues as well.

That's me! And my name is Michael actually

I get loads of drill bits etc from the booty.

I must admit to having a certain fondness to Snap On spanners, they have a seductive feel to them, that King Dick and others don't.
Halford ratchet spanners are quite nice, but they are a poor subsitute for the well turned Snap On spanners.

Just out of interest why was someone selling a Megger MFT at a car boot sale?
Was it someone who had done a Electrical Trainee course, gone to set up as a local electrician and given up on the idea, a spark who had upgraded or no longer needed it, or were they selling a MFT (presumably without a receipt) for a more sinister reason?

Not mft by the looks of it,seperates,and if i had them and upgraded to a mft id keep them as a back up.i need to go to some car boots.

Adam W you realy have to get over this Electrical Trainee it will drive you nuts, LOL

Car boot sales near me consist of baby clothes, china ornaments and tat that is from a recycle centre!!

Where do you live man! car boots near me are rubbish.

Did have a bid on the bay for a 1552, but because the price wasn't climbing as expected, the seller cancelled it.

About 15 mins to go, i'd bid 29 quid and they cancelled it balls!!!

 

[telectrix]

send the seller a pm, ask for a price.

Got a Mgger LT7 last night for 42 quid, with almost a full years calibration. Nice for when swapping a damaged socket or light fitting. Save having to unpack the MFT
