What is the best multifunction tester on market for a reasonable price?
Discuss test equipment in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
The best MFT for you would depend on what you need from your tester, what type of work you predominantly do, whether you're looking for a new or secondhand tester and obviously how much you've got to spend.

If you buy 2nd hand make sure it comes with a current calibration certificate or that's another ÂŁ75.00 you'll need to find.

Im looking for a new MFT that will perform all tests up to RCD but it dosent have to have earth electrode function. I don't want to spend too much at the moment but i will pay enough for a mid range tester that will perform the tasks well. I'm looking to start up by myself so want to not spend massive on a tester and then if things work out ill upgrade to a tester thats higher in the market

very true guess I'm just being tight! Ive used a Fluke MFT at work but i hear there are better makes of MFT on the market now any advice?
yes, see what you can get at a good price.
a mate got a bargin on a fluke online from a guy that was selling off all his tools.
fluke is just as good as megger
none of them are accurate but then you wouldn't be looking at an mft if you did.
fluke do very good warranty's etc, fluke or megger are the brands most electricians use

I don't view it as an essential feature. The tester I use day-to-day doesn't do that test. It doesn't cause me any problems.
All low current tests...
