    Martindale et4000 high readings, calibration?

    Hi all I've just purchased the martindale tester second hand from ebay. In comparison with my metrel mi3002 and ht macrotouch, it is giving almost twice the readings. In my mind, this is a faulty unit, as calibrating will only check the tolerance, and if the readings are this far out, it...

    Martindale ET4000 MFT any good?

    Anyone got a Martindale ET4000? I was thinking of getting one but looks like it only does 3 wire loop testing although it has some useful features. If anyone has one I'd be interested to know how good or bad it is. Thanks.

    Martindale ET4500

    Hi Guys I am just about to buy a MFT and I have run across the Martindale ET4500. It is about £350 cheaper than the comparable Megger or Fluke. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion as to whether it is worth getting the more expensive or if the Martindale does the job. Thanks
