Re: Multi - Meter , thinking of buying this one
You are only really concerned with resistance readings so something with that many settings is way over the top, but at the price it should certainly tick your boxes. I got mine from screwfix for around 5 or 6 quid and does all that I need.
Good luck mate.Formerly known as Captain Slow

Re: Multi - Meter , thinking of buying this one
Do I need a separate curcuit alarm then? I thought this would do that as well as measure resistance

Re: Multi - Meter , thinking of buying this one
To install Electric UFH you really need a Multimeter to check for the required resistance before laying. Then the tester that Jays mentions while laying...2 different items....One measures a resitance value the other a break in the circuit.
