Never in a million years would I pay £1600 for a MFT

I paid around £250 for my second hand FLuke 1652 MFT and it does everything I need

Mr Bundy just ordered 2 of them, He should have ordered a pair of shoes at the same time.

If Bindy can afford to rinse 3 grand on a couple new testers then he must be doing something right
 
Hes making a fortune off YouTube on top of work so its probably not a lot to him. Personally I have no interest in his content as I find him hard to listen to, but he's done well out of it.
 
I seem to remember Nagy (remember him) was making £££££ off the back of his YouTube celebrity stardom. Then he just disappeared
 
Wow. Surprised to find my humble video on this fine forum. Thank you original poster.

I'm sure Mr. Bundy can't complain about extra dosh from YT - but most of it is from affiliate content. I think YT pays our UK sparkies "only" about £2 per 1000 views in "science and technology" section, so most of the extra money out of YouTube adventures is made on advertising Tradify, tool shops and similar stuff.

As for Nagy's disappearance - I think he's still looking for a new cameraman/editor. You know you made it big when you need a dedicated film crew to follow you at work 😆
 
In work we use the Megger 1741. I have used Fluke and Kewtech also. To be honest I prefer the Kewtech over the Megger and Fluke. I don't quite understand all the hype around Megger. I thought the Kewtech was a much better tester and easier to use.
 
Megger is a long trusted brand-name which started out as Evershed and Vignole who made the first 'Megger' tester.
So now everyone associates megger with electrical test equipment and sees them as a gold standard.
But are they the gold standard though? Overall I just felt kinda "Meh" about it. I know some sparks will only use Megger.
 
Over the years I have tried every MFT (that I can think of) and they all do the same thing

From what I have seen on-site in the most recent decade is Fluke seems to the be main weapon of choice

On average yes, megger testers are generally the best if you are considering the whole range and not just the bottom of the range MFT's.
Once you consider the battery testers, high voltage testers, low resistance ohm meters, time domain reflectometers and all the rest then yes they are at the top of the game.
