megger vs fluke

[Dannyexcel]

In the market for a new multifunction tester what Is the best value for money out there ?

 

[danzor]

Don't know the prices, but Megger

 

[dan86]

yawn. try the search function! there is a thread on the go started only last week I think...

If Fluke were twice the price of the equivalent Megger they'd still be better value. But that's just my opinion.

If Fluke were twice the price of the equivalent Megger they'd still be better value. But that's just my opinion.

And my opinion is the complete reverse. The age old , and pointless, debate. Use what you like using, thats the answer to the OP.

I bought a Megger 1730 a few weeks ago, used it properly for the first time today and had no problems with it at all. Obviously everyone has their preference but I like the megger

I like both, but the meggar is a better buy IMO, the 1720 is not as good as the 1553 though, but there you are, JMO.

i have both so only my opinion matters , fluke best.

[DJ Ovengloves]

Can you use them both at once...like some clever octopus?

i have both so only my opinion matters , fluke best.

I had the Megger, but it kept going away for repair for the selector switch. Think it was away 4 or 5 times.
i now have the fluke,
personally I thought the Megger was the best to use, but the fluke seems more reliable.

personally speaking, I think they are both good machines.
The case on the fluke is more user friendly.

megger 1553 but the case is rubbish.

 

[Robert Turnbull]

Fluke 1652b :gunsmilie:
the case is fantastic

Firm I use to work for used Fluke 1652/53 and the test electricians did nothing but moan about them saying they wanted a Megger so we purchased a Megger 1720 MFT and quess what they did nothing but moan about the Megger we just couldn't win what ever we did.

 

[MDJ]

The 1720 isn't easy to use TBH compaired with the 1553, however once you have worked out how to use it is fine, I don't like the leads on the 1720 either, but will get use to them lol.
