Test Equipment Survey

As title chaps.

What tester do you use?

 

[electricAl]

Thought we`d already done this one - to death

Must be a valid reason for asking, Mr Sparrow. So i`ll capitulate & start the ball rolling...

Megger 1552.

Boring i know, but it`s kinda good

Oh, sorry J

I didna see the option thing at the top. Blind or what?

Delete this if you like. I`m off to Specsavers...

Fluke 1651, still going strong!!

Kewtech kt61/kt35 & Alto al4588 loop.
KT 61 is a good cheap small tester ideal for domestics but worth getting the KT35 as well for the extra 250 & 1000v IR test ranges also better cont tester good for cross reff as well ! The Alto is also a good loop tester with extras but at a cost Alto's are good testers from WF electrical but as said at a cost.

Got the Fluke 1652 mainly as its what I was trained on. Also got the Fluke PAT6500 and love the test data capture and will therefore update the multifunction tester to a Kewtech at some point based on mates recommendations.

All Kewtech units should be burnt!

Nothing wrong with my yellow bricks.

On a more serious note, i am looking to get a MFT but not sure which to get, hence the poll.

thanks j i was 36 last week

try the 1553 with onsite software

 

[UNG]

I use the Metrel Eurotest good piece of kit does all the tests you need and more besides

 

[opm electrical]

i bought a metrel eurotest too and i love it. ill be honest though i bought it more because i used metrel testers at college and i know my way around the meter. besides i got a good deal on it from where i bought it from along with a kewtech wander lead and socket adapter.
i got the one with the usb adapter though and i am having some trouble getting it to talk to the computer. but that could well be down me. any one else have this problem?

also used fluke good testers but couldnt get the WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE tune out of my head used loads of testers in the past and still think for the price Kewtech's are ok.
