Looking for a new mft tester

[Sparkypablo]

Hi all
Can anyone offer some insight on which of these MFTs i should go for i have narrowed it down to the 2 below. Any one used or had experiences with these 2 .
I presently have the Metrel eurotest Easi which as served me well for about 3yrs and i must say metrel technical was fantastic when i had issue.

Metrel mi3101 EurotestAT pro kit with easi swt and software

Seaward powerplus 1557 with software bundle

Neither,

I would suggest either the Megger 1700 series or the fluke 1653/4b

My Boss just brought a Metrel MI 3125 Eurotest Combo, a fantastic compact machine ! well worth a look and far cheaper than Flukes and Megger MFT

Megger 1553

I bought the 1553 last year and I like it but I dont like the carry case also have not used the software side yet

Can't really see how a case can detract from such a fantastic meter? But still, each to their own...

No i have to admit, the Megger cases are totally pony!! they are a pain to pack you meter away, and i can only liken them to a similar case that cheap £20 cordless drills come in, what invairiably happens is that what is a brilliant meter, the megger never gets packed away in its box and ends up sliding about lose in the van. this is one of the big plus points about fluke, the case is like a wheelie bin and its no trouble to pile everything back in it and no matter how untidy it is you can always get the lid closed.

so ideally, a megger MFT in a fluke box. i bought an aluminium camera box for my megger. fits a treat, with low ohms meter and socket adaptors etc.

OK like one of those were you cut out the foam to what shapes you want ?
i have one for my nikon camera and lens
thats a great idea !

Staffie let me put it this way would you like to carry your tools around in a plastic carrier bag ? well thats what it is like with the megger carry case hence why I am thinking of buying a Fluke case as it allows you to store your leads unlike the megger where you are tucking them in

 

[telectrix]

similar. no foam, just adjustable partitions. which nikon have you got? i use canon.

I like the meggeralong with the old skool XBOX bag does the job, the case is better for me than the hard plastic case that the tester comes with, i can carry more at once. Wonder lead, megger and all leads, and loads of other bits along with all paper work.

Have you not seen the state of some sparks van's, just lob it in, wouldnt know what a case is for!!, im a big advicate of everything back in its case and in its place myself

 

[Cbigfoot]

The case is probably the best bit of the Fluke tester!!

I have a Megger, can't really say the case bothers me if I'm honest, what's inside does! I guess I'm just not a fan of fluke mft's...
