Hello everyone, I am lookin at buying a multi function tester.

What is the best starter test that is not too expensive

Thanks in advance

I bought 2 Martindale Veritest 2240, got the 2240 as it as the ramp tester on it. They were about 500 pounds off of TLC and are great little testers.

Both are 3 yrs old now and are used everyday by Sparks and no problems.

Hi

when i started off i bought a cheap starter meter and cheap tools, which i thought was the bees knees but they soon became not suitable for my job. over the years i have learnt that buying tools save up and buy the best.
i have now got a megger 1552 which i have had for a good few years now.

I would have a good long look at all the different ones available on the market, take into account what you will be doing with it in a few years time, what you buy now may not be suitable for you later on, treat it as long term investment.

good luck
