Multimeter

[tolly]

My multimeter died last week and im going to need one tomorrow. I remember a thread on here where someone was saying the bloke who does the baxi course swears by the plumb center ones. Which one was it so I can pick one up tomorrow, they do 2, the compact one or the other one....


This one,

Center 2005 multimeter with temperature and auto ranging

Or this one,

Center 1090 multimeter compact comes with temperature

When I did the Baxi course they used all fluke multimeters

the more you pay the better the bits n bobs, but my wickes special for £20 has served me fine over the last 8 years, does what I need and kept me alive at the same time. If I was a sparky I'd get better but I'm not.

I've got the 1090, does all I need. I had a fancy one but dropped it so I'm sticking to cheaper ones now.

I used the 1090 for years, does everything you need and cheap as chips. Got a Fluke 106 now which is a lovely bit of kit.

Some of the lads bought one off eBay which is a direct copy of the Fluke and was about £20

any multimeter is only as good as the person using it as with most things.

the flukes are great but unless you use it every day its prob hard to justify. Use a voltage indicator and proving unit if testing for 230v's and isolation.

Cheers, picked up the Regin branded version of the Plumb center 1090 meter today, had to use it earlier aswell and it seems ok so far. Got it for £17.99 from city plumbing.

I've got the plumb center version, had a year or so and it does everything I need and when I break it which I will it won't bother me as it was £20.

Didn't see the thread in time but it was me who said about the baxi guy and the plumb center multimeter. It was the 1090 one.

Looks like you made a good choice anyway.
