old ACT stuff was TES of Taiwan,

 

Currently have a Martindale which quite nice (which I think is BRK precision)

 

Cheapest I'd go is Temma or Uni-Trend, below that whats the point ?

How else will you sell an alarm for £300, you got to buy cheap

Fluke MM's here and an ACT Gold batt tester for us hatchback fly-by-nights, Metrel for mains testing, OK it's not Megger, but at least it's not HungFu5000

You'll never get the same reader twice

 

Multimeter - I bet is bought in from HungFu

Yeah the mains tester is about ten years old, was made in Poland

 

Looks like this but the mains testing, rather than PAT version...

for under £40 you can buy a durable accurate multimeter 

 

When its gets lost or broken I'm not gonna give a shiney shit...

I’ve had a Fluke 179 multimeter for 9 years, still going now, one fuse replacement after a colleague borrowed. Awesome investment

 

also got Fluke 1653 multi function tester.

Worth the money

Yep I think mine is a 179 III?

 we by a new meter each year with a calibration certificate to test our meters against. 

 

 

Master (office held) meter only needs to be calibrated every two years, save yourself some money.
