MCT-20 : Good value for the money

The tool initially came with the 9V battery compartment plastic drawer chipped at the corner. I didn't bother myself with sending the tool back but bought the replacement plastic part at the local electronics component supplier for like 5 EUR and am pretty happy ever since.

The features I use the most have saved me lots of nerves in the live situations: the sockets for checking the cables with TRS / XLR type plugs; the RJ-11/45 sockets are also fine if you are troubleshooting your LAN. And finally the simple continuity meter using the provided probes is a good reason not to carry your proper multimeter to a live gig. The unit is not battery hungry. Built like a tank.

The only donwsides are:

- the tool is guite bulky, it is around two average effect pedals size and weight wise

- there comes no gigbag with it, so I use a heavy duty blister packaging for carrying it around

If the tool gets broken or lost I would consider buying smaller one from the same maker.
