I think its about time I stopped using one of those screwdrivers that

little when it comes to electrical work unless pretty basic stuff will

want a cheap one that will do basics.
Anything in particular I should look out for or have on the multi meter?

Fluke 101 35.99 delivered on Ebay (UK stock)

But that's still a lot more than a simple meter.


A manufacturer who actually designs the internals to genuinely meet safety
standards rather than just silk screening some random ****e on the case.

If anyone is happy with testing anything on the mains either with a no name
chinglish brand or an analogue meter then they really want their heads
examining.

depeneds what you mean by no name, and remmeber a name can me little if yuo're ordering from ebay and teh stuff comes from china.

There is some ****e out there that shouldn't be let loose on
anything but a single PP3

you leave my students out of this. ;-)
