Just out of curiousity, you said your Wiggy is a true love. You don't use a Wiggy in control work, do you? You can close a circuit with a tester of that sort.

i use a wiggy when im in a house troubleshooting something there. if im troubleshooting anything other than basic circuits i break out my clamp on meter or another DMM. im still saving up for my fluke 289 kit :

Fluke T+Pro. It does continuity, resistance, volts, GFCI test, LED light, and phase rotation, About $80.00 Its a Wiggy Killer.
 
A large variety of test equipment, from a wiggy to IR camera and high current test sets, ductor, meggers, gauss meter, multimeter, amp clamps and all variety of equipment in between. Different jobs require different test sets.

Wiggy killer,.... that was a good laugh, you think?:grin:

Fluke's T+, and T+Pro are CATIII, what's your wiggy rated at?;)

electricalperson, will you fully utilize a DMM of the 289's sort? The only thing that meter won't do is iron your work attire. In 12 years I have been lucky enough to not have had the need for a logger. FlukeView software is great! How many of you guys/gals use a logger on commercial sites or contract work?

I use a power quality analyzer as a data logger. Two birds with one stone. Basically the same instrument, with maybe an extra bell or whistle. At the time I was buying, it was a horserace between the Fluke 43, Ideal 805, and one from Hioki that I forget. I got the Ideal. Other than logging for whole weeks at a time with the amp clamps on the wrong direction, I havn't had any disappointments from it.

whats a ductor?
 
I never knew how to spell Ducto(e)(o)r, I have always called it a micro-ohm meter then DLRO, now it is ductor, what next. MINI-OHM MEASURER
 
an old secret

an old secret

As what some call an old timer, I had a friend who is an electronics engineer and was taught an old trick. Using an AM FM radio you can find loose connections which are now knows as a series fault. Using the radio, tune it in to an AM station with nothing on it and when you get near the loose connection you hear static and it gets worse when you get closer. All loose connections produce radio signals.
 
George C Marshall High School Anakra Turkey 1968....I am getting old.

Zog...I knew the DLRO was a brand name who made the Ductor brand?
 
Brian,

I think it is a Fench word relating to evaluations or something, I think I saw it on a Chauvin Arnoux micrometer (Known now in the US as AEMC) a while back. Makes sense with Chauvin Arnoux being based in Paris.
