Uni-T UT60E, a knockoff hakko 936 with digital controls and a bunch of tips. First job for the iron is to replace the 10A fuse holder in the meter with something that can hold a ceramic fuse.
Surely the glass fuse holder will also take a BS1362 ceramic? Why even bother. I mean if you aren't working as a linesman and/or at the electricity substation? In which case you would have a Fluke anyway.
(I now expect my arse to be handed to me on a plate
)
True, I'm not, and no, those holders won't take BS1362 without modification.
The stock glass fuse is 5x20mm, BS1362 is 6.3x25.4mm those dimensions are far enough apart that mangling the holders to fit will make them pretty useless.
On the other hand, 5x20mm ceramic fuses are available... easy answer strikes! I just want something that has a good shot of preventing major injury if/when I'm an idiot. I don't trust metallic discharge lamps (sorry, glass fuses) to do that.
And blame Maplin for the Uni-t purchase, needed a vaguely competent meter in a hurry, that was the best they had

I'll add a fluke 101 to the toolkit sometime.
