Got my new SureTest (I have three now :roll: ). I like the new display. I’ll have to get used to the new menue. . .

Hi Jeff, I agree, I love mine, I waited for them to bring this one out a few months ago, only thing I hate about it is the price ;-), but it really impresses people who understand what it does and how it shows the results, If there is anything better I still have to find it (although Greg might argue with me)

This is the second one that I have I bought the first one about 5 years ago an old ST1 that still woks well see here: http://www.nachi.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=971&d=1138902528

There is even a test for a “shared neutral” at an AFCI. Impressive. . .

damn Jeff, you must have been reading the instructions first, and you call yourself a man,:mrgreen:

When my 155 went bad they replaced it with the 165.

wdecker · February 3, 2006, 2:22am

Is that a 165?

jpope · February 3, 2006, 3:02am

Yup. 61-165, new and improved.

Jeff,

What do they cost now?

jpope · February 3, 2006, 3:24am

I think I paid $340. . .

dduffy · February 3, 2006, 3:44am

Thanks, I was wondering if you found a deal on them somewhere.

Deals from SureTest are too rare. They generally make a good product, and you have to pay for it.

Sounds like some phone calls, people looking for deals…ha

Thanks Todd.

I don’t have a 165 but it looks like a handy instrument.

tallen · February 3, 2006, 4:00am

I still use my old, crusty, 155, but it is still pretty handy.

I got my Suretest on EBAY…got a good deal on it about 1 year ago…paid 200.00 for it...retailed for over 300.00…

dduffy · February 3, 2006, 4:11am

Thanks Paul…was it new?

pabernathy · February 3, 2006, 4:12am

Jeff,

pabernathy · February 3, 2006, 4:13am

The LED is nicer than the LCD for photo purposes

jpope · February 3, 2006, 2:48pm

I just got it Paul. Give me a day or two to work it out.
