I was lucky to find a good deal, I borrowed a megger for testing at a fire job, it worked out great, found all the faults, it was then i decided to buy one, after pricing the new ones, i cooled off for a while, then a local EC was selling everything in the shop, I knew he had a megger, so i showed up 5:00 AM thinking i would be there first, trucks all around the block, so at 7:00 they open the doors, well i watched as the first group came out arms loaded, by the time i got in there, not much was left, a few pipe benders, a wire rack, and a megger, i picked it up and looked at the tag $25, when i paid for it, he said, what are you going to do with that?, So you have a point when you say not many use them, But the best place to buy, is an EC's sell out.
