There is only one instrument for the heating game. Its the Fluke 116. Made especially for us. Absolute top quality bit of kit not matched by anything else. It will last you at least 15 to 20 years. DONT buy cheap kit. Buy cheap, buy twice. I just recently replaced mine after it was damaged by being run over (dont ask) and it cost me £80.

if its for daily use then you will need to splash a bit of cash out

I agree with Gordon, Fluke meters are the ones to beat.
