Test meters used by the professionals.
« on: December 10, 2012, 09:45:53 pm »
I had to get a replacement light switch today for the bathroom, I went into a local supplier who are also electrical contractors and now also solar power installers, so I picked up one of their flyers.
It was not until I got home that I noticed the test meter in the photograph, which pictures the owner of the business himself, Tony drake. Whatever it is it certainly does not look like a fluke more like £2.99 cheapo.

That's OK because he's not actually measuring anything...

....well, at least let's hope so ;).....
....marketing and posing for the photographer. It's probably sth. out of the toolbag he just grabbed for a quick photo..... or maybe he didn't want to violate Fluke's copyright or be safe or whatever.....

It took me all of 2 seconds to realize that the pic is a stock image.  It's not the owner of the company.  It's just a picture of some dude that the graphic artist downloaded - and photo-shopped their logo on.

thats what happens if you get high at work and the supervisor walks by. grab the first thing in your toolbag and look busy.

"just stay cool man he does not know the difference common just stay cool"  :palm:  :palm:  :palm:

at least he is not using that meter at a substation right?
