Yep Fluke case has good storage plus its a great seat as well but the megger case is just cumbersome and I also highlighted this to the megger man in Scotland but I dont think he got it as he said I cant see there is a problem well I said I like the 1553 as it is a good all round tester but because of limited space you cannot store any extra leads plus carrying it up a flight of stairs is an issue with your tools and the extra bags you need for your extra leads and bits and bobs. The thing is he just did not get it

nor did the kewtech guy when i was asking about whether they had sorted out the issues with the rotary switches on the 64, 65 and 66.....apparently there was a recall on some of these units to be fitted with an upgraded switch....a lot of problems when in low ohms....

megger case got ditched lead sets now in a "boot bag" from sports direct and the frequently used ones are in same wee tote as hand tools and tester
Ikea do a day sack/laptop bag that Im considering as it halfs with front part being large enough for notebook and tester and rear part well big enough for BGB ect ect and lesser used leads ,adaptors ect

My 1730 knocks out RCDs, and RCBOs, its a pain in the butt. Also gives diffrent readings on high and no trip setting! and one of my leads is broken. Have you seen the price of a set of leads!!! and if you using it continusly then leads will fail, but thats taking the pee.... but saying that i like it..

edit.. just found some cheap leads
