Megger 1553. Worth buying to do basic domestic stuff ?

[LukeD]

I have been offered a very well looked after unit . The price is £160 with all accessories etc . Calibration finished 3 weeks ago. Unit compares reading with another calibrated unit .so a possible good buy ?????

The 1553 will do all the tests; except it won't test the A type Rcd's. Was using a 1552 till about a year ago.

I would have that if I were you, They were reputed to be bulletproof.
If you don't want it I will have it

Its mine now ..! Even had brand new Duracells inside .I would say 95% as new .I was going to up the budget and get a "Di-Log" .But will settle for this .

That is a good buy, but have to say I am getting up early tomorrow so I can hate you a bit longer. ?

Still got my old faithful Megger 1552. Use it as a backup for my 1741+.

MY logic is to keep this for a bit (I always look after tools ) then move it on when I can get a newish tester at a good deal. I notice there are always times when people dump testers due to some changes in the regs etc !

Was caught out recently when I forgot the 10% commission that e-bay charge. ? so be careful when moving it on.
