however had I not got a good deal I was thinking about the Megger first

Try and get your hands on the models first if you can

make sure you shop around aswell.there is a massive difference, even between wholesalers within walking distance of each other.

I would possibly think most important thing is after sales service rather than cost. If you are spending

A recent poll Megger came out on top but we had poor levels of participation

the proof is there, right in front of you, that most people prefer megger. dont blame 'poor levels of participation', because if there was more votes, the result would most likely still be megger in the lead

0.8% of members voted. Hardly fair.

The simple fact is both do the job, both decent makes etc.

You can start a 'what brand of powertool' debate but the simple answer is if you go for a main brand (not a cheap one) you'll get something decent that can be fixed and is supported.

The shear dogmatism (word of the day?) related to MFT's astounds me.

Is it because you wear it around your neck and feel close to it?

I do think 'Megger' is a great name in terms of psychology

but still, from the people who did vote, megger won.

either way, i have used both kits in the past. both do work and get the job done. both have advantages over the other. its mostly personal preference for which one you go with

Yes, but 95% of members have never logged in again after their first day so the numbers are irrelevant.

Those who care, voted. Those who don't, didnt.

Yes spring? mr crocus? SC?

I see you may have voted for the Megger. There is something unhealthy about some people's obsession.

Not sure I believe 95% never come back!

26% have posted atleast once

Just checking if you were still awake, mate.

No, actually I didn't vote (or don't remember doing so) but a quick browse through the member list does show a lot of members who joined and last signed in on the same day.

95% was a guess but don't know how to tailor a search for the right answer.

Fancy doing some research? ] ]

I have! 10 random pages counting the number of people who never came back! 30 entries on a page average of 11 people per page that never came back!

~1/3 or 33%. Highest I had on 1 page was 21

(you did vote on the poll BTW )

Good enough for me. Applaud SmileyApplaud Smiley

Now, what the heck did I vote for? Was it megger or fluke? My fluke tends to trigger RCD's on loop tests and the batteries keep falling out of the daughters' megger (well, mine actually but she uses it more than me) - hate both of them.

Anyway, good to see you're still alert. :^O :^O
