Recommended test equipment

aligarjon

Hi guys.   I am thinking of retiring my Robin testers, sticky buttons.  Does anyone have any recommendations or don't touch advice.  I have always had individual testers but i guess the all in one testers are the way to go these days ?   I only do domestic work with an occasional social club or golf club inspection if that makes any difference.

Thankyou

    Well I started with the robin testers, moved onto the Megger 1552, then had two of those they were so good to use and now have the Megger 1741, which is an excellent bit of kit, but at £1000 it stings like hell to buy it. 

    If - by chance - you're looking for a good second hand test kit, the Megger 1552 was an awesome bit of kit; I still have one as my back up.

    I have a Megger 1741 which is a good piece of kit. I also have a Kewtech KT65DL which is an excellent bit of kit but lacks the 2 wire low current loop test. I want to try a Kewtech KT66DL which does a 2 wire low current loop test and high current loop tests up to a 25A test current. I suspect the KT66DL has leap frog-ed over the Megger 1741.

    I stick with separates. I don't like the idea of being totally testerless in the event that a one-does-all box dies. So I stick with my trusty Fluke 1520 for insulation/continuity and Megger LCB2000/2 for loop & RCD
