I'm looking at buying a Steinel-type tester.
Everyone seems to go for the Fluke T5-1000, but why? It has an ammeter which I can't imagine I'll use very often, and it works as a kind of clamp meter, which again I can't see myself using.
All I really want it for is as a voltage tester and bellset, so I was looking at the Steinel 1.2, which is about half the price and you can't put it on the wrong setting, which I was taught was imperative for safe isolation.
Do you use the T5? If so what's so great about it? Do you use the current measuring facility, and do you find you really need to know the exact voltage without getting the MFT out?
Do you use a different brand such as Steinel, Megger or DiLog? If so what made you choose it and what do you think of it?
