Lol, I'm guessing Green Grass was a wind up account....but saying that we've had some members who are actually pretty close to that
I bought the Bahco set and they lasted me less that 6 months. They're not very robust and if you've got a bent level, it's less than useless...
I wonder if that's been added as a feature in the last six years since this thread's last post or if it existed back then🤔
I have the Armeg, purely for the range of torque settings.

There is now an adjustable option available, though only IP20 rated unlike all other Evofire products.
After 2 years, I think it’s either been sorted or replaced by now 😉😂

I don't view it as an essential feature. The tester I use day-to-day doesn't do that test. It doesn't cause me any problems.
All low current tests...
CU makers should use the same heads as Ikea and B&Q light fittings, no tool available will fit the heads of their fixing screws.
Am I the only one who uses Wago 294's rated @24amps push fit one end lever clamp the other.
Agree with Tim, you need clips as well as probes. Also be careful, some clips are only rated to 50V.
Personally I'd spend the extra and get the...

PTF's for keeping the water IN......not too good for earth continuity..........although, if there's no earth fault there's no leakage either way...
Yeah, but that was about 25 years ago.
A lot of that is to do with IP considerations, more than rating. A company called Neutrik attempted to take that problem on with a range of...
Best screwdriver for old style flat head roofers is, of course, someone else’s.

On average yes, megger testers are generally the best if you are considering the whole range and not just the bottom of the range MFT's.
Once you...

Employing the same logic, I use a cheap Precivia crimper from Amazon for ferrules and Cembre crimpers for lugs.
