Metrel mi3100. Bought in a hurry as a necessary replacement. Main attraction? Price. However its proven itself as really reliable over last 8 years. My biggest worry with MFT, s are the couriers taking them for calibration.

I'll second that Mike, after owning a martindale ET4500 for 2 years, not liking the soft case but liking the tester I ordered a Fluke case for it. I paid over £40 just for the case but I'm glad I did now. I have no idea why other manufacturers don't do something similar.Love the Fluke case, about the most hard wearing case I have seen for any MFT.

I looked at that, very similar if not the same only in black. Strangely though on Ebay the Di-Log was £ 68 compared to £ 45 for the Fluke.Di-Log DL9110.
Di-Log MFTs come in a hardcase similar to Fluke's.

I don't know why the price is so high other than demand, they do seem to sell well, but they are good for the job. I'm sure there's a market there to exploit.They're very similar, but I never looked to see if the case was available separately.
Ebay pricing is often dictated by what the market will permit, rather than retail prices. While some very good bargains can be found, it can the case that ebay works out quite expensive.
Edit: Di-Log case £39.95 from testermans, but currently out of stock.
i've got that same robin IR/cont. tester. had it for 30 years.Megger 1711 here, only had it a month but then I bought it based on the fact that this beast passed down to me by another spark still works. (Plus bonus Robin IR tester in stylish leather case)

I have a Megger MFT1731. Had it about 6 years. Had to replace the rechargeable batteries once, other than that, I love it.Just wondering which multifunctional testers you guys have, and how long have they lasted?
Hoping this becomes a handy thread for you all. There seems to be a massive price difference between them all. But then I guess some do things others don't? Not sure.
Let us know which multifunctional testers you have, which ones you wish you had, and how long the one you have has lasted so far.![]()
