    Need to upgrade my tester

    My ten year old Megger MFT1553 is nearing the end of its life so 2022 will see it replaced. What is the current decent MFT out there? I’m quite liking the Fluke 1664 FC at the moment but cannot discount the Megger range. Must do all 18th Ed tests and EV Chargers, robust and easy to use.
