Those CAN NOT test sockets in any useful way.

I have seen a similar post before, the tester alerts there may be a fault, but it will not really identify the and fault, even the more expensive versions around £50 with loop, pass at around 1.9 ohm, where for a ring final the pass mark is 1.37 ohms, so only any good testing a radial.

You were asked on the other forum is your supply TN or TT, better answer that first rather than re-post on another forum.
