Multifunctional Testers - Which one have you got and how long has it lasted?

[suffolkspark]

Any kewtech KT63 owners here? I see kewtech offer an upgrade to the 63DL so it can do type A rcds, they change the circuit board and facia, just wondering what it cost and if you think it was worth it vs buying a new tester?

Got the 64. Can that be upgraded.

Think Metrel have won the right to be respected. I have one and sang it's praises on an earlier post. Like the price too.

If you rebadged the Metrel meters as Fluke or Megger they would sell, a lot of people will buy the known brand name rather than look at the spec of what they are buying.
When I went to college there were whole in depth lessons on choosing the correct and best meter for the task in hand something which I doubt is taught these days

Not sure, could always email them, they got back to me, as no KT63DL in stock at kewtech until april/may. Cost of upgrade of the KT63 is £195 + vat and £10 post ?

Metrel MI3000, lasted about 7 years from new but now has an intermittent fault on the navigation button, probably on the PCB.
Replaced with another preloved MI3000 whilst deciding on the next one.

exactly same as me.. had it repaired about 2 yrs ago and still ok after 9 yrs.
I also have a metrel 3125 as aback up but rarely used..

Are we the only country to use MF testers ?

I have spoken to sparks from America , Canada , New Zealand , Australia , Greece and Spain non of which use a MF back home

I didn't have one until I came to the UK. My meters were Megger Combination IR/OHM meter, RCD tester, Current Clamp and Fluke DMM. Kit was used for maintenance, installation testing and pat testing

I haven't get the energy for more than one Forum, especially a sport one.

I have always wondered what goes on in the brains of the people who sign off the cases at megger etc ! have they never ever thought "Di-log " and "Fluke" really have done a much better job. I would sack them all .The good cases must be bought in for about £5 a case max. So why not just supply a good case ? !!
