150 quid mate can`t go wrong cheap enough to get you going and should hold the price when you move onto your next meter

Metrel! I would not buy it again leads are crap goes in and out of calibration and the tip commander is totally unreliable watch out if you are thinking of a long lead reel the clips fall out of mine I wish I had stuck with Kewtech

rob, get a megger mate, mark my words and u heard it here from me.....................'You will regret not paying that little bit extra in the long run'!!
You get what u pay for and as a tester is ur bread and butter, dont settle for a second best option!
nuff said me thinks!

If not, i look forward to reading ur post in a few months saying ' wish i had never bought a metrel!

Can not fault you on your pick of tester but could you not have got it cheaper with the Forum sponsor ?

Your link say's the one you got was £599.00 but the one at Test-Meter seems to be £579.00.

I think Test-meter are presently £660.06 for an mft1552 - their main prices don't show the VAT and then there is postage as well.

£625.86 inc vat and shipping forum sponsor. Still not sure why not discounted further with the new range out now.

sorry i was looking at the 1553 rather than the 1552 - mind i still get £624.46 inc vat and shipping. Did you get your price off the basket price or calculate it

 

[DaveyD]

Basket Mate (inc discount)

Basket Mate (inc discount)

LOL my maths must be slipping - what am i doing wrong

£539 less the 5% discount = £512.05

£512.05 plus the vat at 20% = £614.46

plus £10 shipping + £624.46

aah got it... they are giving a 5% discount on the shipping as well but then charging vat on the rest of the shipping as well as the actual item! God i'm bored LOL!

i probably could of got it loads cheaper if id have shopped around, lesson learnt, i still dont think what i paid was bad for the meter itself, iv wanted one for a long while and was willing my fluke to die so i had an excuse, i also got the pat adaptor given to me, so that kind of made up the difference.

Just got a metrel 3125 eurocombo .quite impressed cos I was a megger man for years
Only downside was a ze reading in a flat I was testing that suggested I was standing next to the sub station, but it's seems to have calmed down 390&vat good tester 4 the money

hi, im new to the forum but ive been using the metrel instaltest 61557 for close to 3 years now and tbh im not really that impressed with it. seems like it really strugles on continuity readings, you can test and get a result but retest again and get a different result altogether and thats always been the case with it, even after its been calibrated. plus it feels very flimsy, im in the market for a new tester also and after much much much looking aroung it'll be a megger 1730 for me or a 1553 if they go down when the 1730's are released....finally!!!

anyway hope this helps.
