Voltage continuity tester

[vxwestie]

Can anyone recommend a good voltage and continuity tester? Nothing fancy but audible continuity test would be handy. And perhaps with a carry case?

The NICEIC assessor wasn't too impressed 18months ago with the state of mine and I must be due a assessment again soon.....

i think it may have been the insulation tape around the bare conductors on the lead of my 10+ year old DiLog ones..... and the fact I'd cut back the insulation on the probes half an inch or so to make life easier..

I have one similar to this , but a lot older .
it has nothing fancy but has worked well for thrtyish years.
If they have maintained their quality you will get long and faithful service from it.

Out of all the ones i have owned, i have to say i like the Fluke T140. Discontinued now unfortunately.

Had a Fluke T150 which stopped working. So wont bother with that model ever again.

The Fluke T5 is a really decent bit of kit and well worth looking at. I have also been looking at the Martindale VT28, which looks good.

I Agree with Simonslimline, the Fluke T5 all the way, the built in clamp meter has proven to be a godsend in the past too
