OT: wanted, 17th edition multi-tester
Any sparks out there know where I can get a good tester which covers all of the 17th edition 2391 tests?
I have looked at lots, but I am looking for an all in one jobbie that does all the tests.
Oh, and as cheap as possible!

17th tester
Hello ,
Im a sparks and have a fluke 1652 multi function tester, it a nice unit but the crap thing with it is you have to null the leads each time you change
from the 13amp plug to test leads. My mate from work have the megga all in one multi function which i rate highly it even has blue tooth and you dont
have to press the test button, as it does this auto on earth loop which is handy. Also you dont need to null the leads as both are the same value!
Might be worth a look on flee bay? Or try and screw a holesaler down to the ground with credit crunch plea!
IF ITS NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT....

Verification of phase sequence was not a requirement of the 16th edition but it is in the 17th!
Obviously only applicable to 3 line (Phase) installations.

Just ordered a Megger MFT 1553 on ebay for £429.
It includes a bluetooth link and software to print out my own certs 
ozzieboy what device does your mate bluetooth it too?
I am wondering if a smartphone is anygood for the job or is it better using a laptop?
