Domestic Wiring Tester

[randyrat]

Okay then, another brain picking.......

What combined tester is most suitable for domestic work? I want something easy to use and reliable. (I was going to add "Cheap", but thats taking it too far, I know)

Any thoughts chaps?

I heard the fluke all in one isn't to bad, and easy to use

 

[wayne]

are you looking for "AVO" meter or just continuity and voltage ?

I use the Fluke 1652 which i have found very simple to use, and i class my self as a novice as far as testing goes. Ramp test feature and Auto RCD test are nice functions too. On the whole very pleased.

I have the Fluke 1653 nice & easy to use, never had any problems with it , you will get the Fluke haters waffling on about croc clips but I've never had a problem with them.
Also used the megger 1502 again soooooooooo easy to use.

Megger 1502......? I heard the fluke was the one to go for, but it isn't half expensive, isnt it?
