Fluke T100.

Purely for voltage testing, I would also say the Martindale VI13700/G Voltage Detector. Never goes faulty and so easy to use.

Apparantly Megger are also bringing out a range of different 2 pole voltage testers in January. Considering their normal standards that might be worth looking out for...

Fluke t5 1000 nice bit a kit worth you saving up for

Only thing wrong with T5 is having to switch on/off etc. The T120 is a cheaper starter meter. The martindale 4 neon doesn't have continuity which I think you will find usefull.

The Fluke tester is good, you might want to check this one out from Milwaukee.

Its got a few advantages over the Fluke in that it reads up to 200a, measures temprature and has a built in torch and Volt detector.
