Anyway, I don't know much about the 1620 but I've heard that the 1652 and 1653 are very good. I know that you're 'safer' having multiple tools in case any of them fail but it seems very convenient to have it all in one tool.

You should take a look at there websites before you make any decisions on one.

It didn't comply for some reason (test currents, test time limit etc). 1652 is a great bit of kit, but the loop reading takes a while to do - but it NEVER has yet tripped an RCD on me.

Its actually comfortable to wear, and the screen always faces up. Loads of extra features, like one man rcd test, rcd ramp test etc.

For the extra cost, it didn't seem worth it.
