Fluke T5 or T150?

[HappyHippyDad]

T150 is better tool. i hate the T5.

Jesus Christ!! I'd made up my mind Tel.... and you come along and ruin everything! :6:

right. T150 has phase rotation, and a fixed probe, that means you don't need 3 hands. it's also got LEDs as well as the LCD display. wins hands down.

T150 all day IMO.

Cheers for that Tel I'm only pulling your leg.. I like taking my time over deciding, either ones going to be a good choice so I cant lose!

However... Could someone confirm for certain if the T5 1000 has a clip on the back that means you pop the probe in it when testing so that you dont need a third hand? (no offence Robo, just want to be absolutely certain... my mind seems to work by statistics!!)

 

[telectrix]

yes it does. you can clip 1 probe in.then you have a hand free to stop the bloody thing rolling over like a dog for a belly tickle just as you want to see the reading.

Definitely confirm that, I've used my bosses. There are two clips/slots in the back of the T5 for storing the probes, one works both ways so you end up with a point sticking forward from the tester.

I have two bits of kit attached to my belt when i'm out on site, a T5 1000, and a mini tourch. I wouldn't be without either one of them...

Now Tel, even an apprentice knows the proper tool for delivering a wake up is an IR tester!

edit: Or the front end of a steel cap boot.

Tourch (Breton: Tourc'h) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.
