Where can I get a good coil reader in the UK?

Hi people.

I have an Ohm reader/coil reader I bought for about a tenner off off ebay, but it seems to not be that accurate. Anyone know where I can get a good coil reader in the UK?

Like coils I make that should be 1.3 it reads at 1.5 and so on, quite annoying. It was reading one 1.2 at 2 Ohms! But give it a wiggle and a settle and it usually is very close to what my Sig says, I just want a better one.

Couple of little things you might want to try.
Make sure the atty is seated snug but not tight, the lead screws are also snug not over tightened.

A bit of wiggle will throw the reading off.

USA ohm meters are the best around but im not sure if they ship to the UK but you can try it they might. they are acurate to .018 ohms

I will make sure it is screwed down snugly, and also the posts are contacting the wires snugly. I think I may have to get another reader though, as this one seems to be off more often than not once I get it on the device. That or my 2MM driver is actually 3MM lol.
