16th Edition testers
 
I wish to buy a 16th Edn multi-tester, ideally a fluke 1653 or something
equivalent. Can anyone tell me where the best place to shop for Test
instruments, or another newsgroup that deals with electricians test &
measurement equipment?

Thanks

Best options I've seen in recent months have appeared on ebay.

I've just been looking for pat testers, all the online stores are
pretty much similar priced.
www.isswww.co.uk seem marginally cheaper
than the others. I would imagine 16th ed. testers are on a par
comparitively.
Other than that I buy them from whichever wholesaler is giving me the
best discounts at the time.

They come up regularly on Ebay, although some fetch silly money.

I got an digital RCD tester and digital earth loop impedence tester from
eBay for 100 quid each, including fresh calibration certificates. I got my
digital megger/continuity for 30 quid from someone who thought it was a
faulty temperature meter that gave him an electric shock! It is cheaper to
get separates than an all in one. Also, you have less to lose if one goes
faulty/missing/stolen. However, they obviously don't tend to have download
options and certificate printing software, if these facilities are important
to you.

Christian.
