Any good?

Hello,
Looking at buying a MFT. Not sure if to go with a Megger, Fluke, or Metrel tester.
Want something with auto RCD.

Seen a Metrel MI3002 for £250 with 12 months cal also found a brand new kit with the tester and a voltage tester in a hard case for £400.
Also a Megger MFT 1720 for £330


Any feedback on if the price is good and if they are any good.

Thanks

A meggar 1720 at 330 no way that's to cheap.buy that now!!! meggar are the best there little features make all the difference and make the job so much easier. Metrel are ok for newbies but for serious testing meggar

Hello,
Does this look any good?
I know it only has the socket adapter not probes and am no asking the question regarding cal and other accessories.

I bought the Fluke 1652 when they first came out, it cost me a fortune at the time (about *mumble mumble* years ago!). It's been a good piece of kit, but recently did a bunch of testing with the Megger 1730 WHAT A PIECE OF KIT!!! Saved hours for me. Like Danzor said, I'll be doing the same when my Fluke dies.

One of the best MFT's ever marketed, A tried and tested tester and no teething problems that the latest Megger 17 series MFT's seem to still be suffering from. Had mine a good few years now, and never has given me cause for concern....
