[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6255622, member: 63856"] If you just want to check the voltage, anything from a blade of grass up will do fine. The fault finding ones are pretty valuable if you're busy and have a crappy system like mine with barb fences and outriggers :cry: every decent gale I have to trace shorts, and these save a serious amount of time. I had a Speedrite one like [USER=5334]@Pan mixer[/USER] is modelling, but it got water inside after being left in a wet raincoat and now is just a voltmeter My wee Gallagher one (as per Holwellcourtfarm) seems more waterproof and fits better in a smaller pocket, but easier to misplace for being more compact. Put the two side by side and they give different readings. The Speedrite one is better at tracking faults if you have arc-burnt cutout switches, the Gallagher one sometimes points back to a dodgy switch where the red one didn't seem to. (y)(y) [/QUOTE]
