    Which PAT tester

    There's a lot of different PAT testing machines out there from £300 to close to £3000, I'm not going planning to do a lot of PAT testing but I think it is a good service to be able to offer, any reccommendations for any particular reason? thank you very much

    Anyone got a copy? Trying to download it but keep getting asked for a serial number - I don't have the machine yet so can't enter it. Want to play with it before the machine arrives ?

    Megger 1730 won't complete IR dead test at any range

    As title, playing with test rig and running through dead tests; conductor continuity passes fine but if I try and do any range IR test it just won't have it. I've tested the dead short to verify leads are ok and they are, I can't figure out why it's not running the test, it's a dead rig so no...

    Confused by the shear volume and what to do

    Good morning all, I mainly work on boiler faults, and repairs. I sometimes have to install wireless thermostats, or renew the fcu switch. I’ve seen a video by an electrician about using a ratchet crimp tool, and a plumber with the same. I’m after some advice as I’m thinking to use bootlace...

    Which clamp meter to buy?

    Doing more and more consumer unit changes and think it’s worth while to have an earth leakage clamp tester. My MFT is a megger which I quite like, so eas going to go with a DCM305E but then noticed that the DCM340 is a fair bit different, ehat’s the difference?! They both appear to do AC and...

    Hi Sparkies, newbie here needing some advice please My 1100W SDS hammer drill sometimes starts, sometimes dead.

    Veto Pro Pac Tech LC or Tech XL

    Hi, I’m gonna bite the bullet and get a Veto Pro Pac after going through my 3rd CK Magma in 3 years and I’ve narrowed my choices down to the Tech LC and Tech XL. Did any of you get the Tech LC and wished you got the Tech XL instead? Any feedback would be great.

    Fluke DMS Software

    Anyone successfully using this software, I don't seem to be able to see the results of any tests on my laptop, plus I have a lot of extraneous data from years ago that have nothing to do with me, only been installed for a couple of months, so the data from 1979 is irrelevant, anyone know why...

    Recommended voltage tester?

    I have a Martindale VT12 voltage tester which is OK, but very quickly I discovered the continuity function is a right PITA. Test for volts on the neutral and it lights up and squeals at you! Takes a moment to realise it is the continuity LED that has lit, and the squeal is slightly different...

    Socket testers?

    Somewhere I have a cheap Kewtech socket tester which is handy for a simple 'probably OK' check and to verify power is on. But they will pass a really high R2 value which is not good, so recently when I saw the likes of the Martindale EZ165, or Socket & See SOK34, offering some sort of real test...
