30m wander lead - Think its Kewtech
R2 Socket Adapter

See my approx idea of prices above, all depending on make, model, etc. because they can vary considerably so you would save about £80 on what i think the price would be, so seems like about the right price. Certainly not getting ripped off, unless they are secondhand!

Iv got the older version of the megger very good meter never had any problems can do full tests full house. I also have a easytest mi3000 and although its a good meter it over heats after 15 sockets and then is slow going. The wand I have is the megger one though never used the kewtech.

Cheers guys, I've only used the megger 1552 which I thought was a good bit of kit.
I'm gonna buy this set and see how it treats me

With expensive kit like a Meggar its worth checking the guarantee. I don't have Meggar but my Tester came with five years, that may be standard now, but when I bought it other manufacturers where only offering three years.
