[willing2learn]

Can you guys recommend me a decent multi meter for fault finding on boilers etc.

I use Fluke which I find easy to use.

Which model would you suggest?

flukes are very exspensive good kit but possibly a bit to good for what most of us need the draper autoranging one is good sells for about 50 quid on ebay dont buy one from maplins im on the third one as first two went dodgy in no time

The Draper one has a temperature probe as well which makes it really good value,especially at this price.

As above. Fluke for quality, reliability and ease of use. They set the standard. I use the 116.

As all the boys have said Fluke multimeters. Top notch bit of kit, I've got two. If you have the money to buy the best then buy it. You get what you pay for.

 

[willing2learn]

Thanks for all the replies guys, that's that sorted then!

Hmm!

Yes the problem with Fluke is cost. Kane do one that BG use a lot cheaper than the Fluke 116. But if you can afford it get the Fluke.

The high cost is probably for its sensitivity and its ability to read micro amps less than .001 for testing flame failure devices.
