Robin are resurected by Fluke Group

[MarkieSparkie]

All electricians rejoice! Fluke group appear to have been listening to comments on forums like ours, lamenting the demise of the Robin testers. Robin testers are back on the market, new design testers marketed under the Robin/Amprobe banner. Lets hope this just the start of the changes, perhaps the other Fluke assimilated brands will be revived, notably LEM and HEME.

I loved my old 1620 :smile5:, wonder if they'll produce an MFT in the future........

Not a patch on the old faithfuls

Your probably right about that mate. It should give Kewtech and Dilog a bit of competition at the cheaper end of the market and than can only be a good thing.

If you follow the link to the bottom of the page Lenny, you will see the KTS1625 MFT with a specification similar to the old KTS1620, £499 + VAT. Can't wait to get my hands on a sample to put it through it's paces and report back.

I've got a robin 1620. Good little tester for sale

I could never understand why those testers were coloured yellow and called Robin. Surely they should have either called them Canary, or coloured them red ?? :rolleyes2:

I thought the old robins are now kewtech, they look remarkably similar

I think they should abandon the Fluke brand and call them all Robin.
