Martindale ET4000

[RDB85]

I’ve just found a brand new, or hardly used Martindale ET4000 for around £200. Has anyone any experience with this multimeter? I’m a fan of their voltage indicator and proving unit.

I have an ET4000, now 4 years old. Generaly I like it, but for one snag - the front panel push buttons become unreliable with use. After about 2 years I had several buttons so unreliable I took it apart and replaced the faulty ones. More recently I took it apart again and replaced several others. I could be unlucky, would be interesting to know if anyone else has had this issue.

Or should I cancel it and buy something else?

If it's pretty much new you can't go wrong at £200.

Assuming this is for general electrical work £200 for a multimeter sounds ridiculous to me.
You can get a brand new megger multimeter for less than that.

ET4000 is an MFT. Poor choice of terminology by the OP.

You'd have thought after the years of dealing in 2nd hand testers on here they'd have got the terminology right!
