Hey Supra
I wouldnt suggest having a Robin all-in one, safer bet to go with Robin single intruments, or go with somthing popular like the megger, or new Fluke Series.

I thought Robin and Fluke were the same company nowadays??
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.

Well Robin and Fluke are one now yes, but they now have brand new testers out with large digital displays and better features it would seem.
You should take a look at there websites before you make any decisions on one.

The 1620 is no longer made.
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.

Yea, odd shape, but great bit of kit. Its actually comfortable to wear, and the screen always faces up.
Loads of extra features, like one man rcd test, rcd ramp test etc.

more expensive, has phase rotation and is downloadable.
For the extra cost, it didn't seem worth it.
