I had one, now using a Fluke 1652.

Alas, the Robin 1620. It is very easy to use, and getting familiar with it takes no time at all. It is in my opinion the ideal starter test set. It does everything you need it to do from a 17th edition point of view. There are some things it wont do like ramp RCD tests, phase rotation, and when you do Ze it usually takes out the RCD, so you need to wire them out.

If you want a good, basic and easy to use 17th edition tester then i can highly recommend it, i had several years trouble free use with mine.

Dont be paying silly money for one, i've seen them at £250 plus, get a used one and change from £180 with cal cert. Have a look on ebay.
