Changes to test-meters discount for forum members

[Gavin John Hyde]

Most of you will know that test-meter have for some time offered a discount to forum members but had to stop the open advertising of a 5% code as too many non forum members found it via google.

They will most of the time still offer a discount if you email them and then order over the phone, the discount ranges between 3 and 5% still. The margins have got a bit tight with the fall in the value of the pound but they are still trying to give you something off and the discount is based on the amount or value of stuff you order.

I just ordered some new test leads for the MFT and they gave me 5% off so its still worth supporting the sponsor.

good for you. the trouble is that you could get some of the tester cheap off flee bay .

The leads i wanted were cheaper from test-meter than on ebay. also more likely to get what i ordered! I always search via google shopping to compare stores for the best price.

what mft leads for what tester.

I needed a new set of kewtech leads for a kt64dl as i have somehow damaged the ends on 2 of them so when inserted i get poor connections. they were loose in the mft. I have spoken to kewtech who have asked me to send in the originals as they are less than a year old, but that doesnt solve the here and now and the need to test my work. I have some generic ones but its good to have a decent set i figure. so bought a new set of KEWTECH ACC065 3 WIRE TEST LEADS for 37.95 ex vat and postage. they took 5% off the 37.95 when i phoned. I am vat registered so will claim the vat back anyway.

i have a Megger , so all the test leads go in to pvc bags end of the day .
all the probes go in to a small pvc curry container empty ,
when I had my inspection and testing this year the test engineer had the same test equipment has me he said I could do with one of those
curry containers ,I told him to go and buy your own curry .

Lol, another one for the plastic curry containers . I use them for lots of things ; see at a glance what is in them.

I remember a few year ago when working at Indians house and they were making curry , the house stank of it . I was working in they kitchen left the job got home but my boots In the laundry room over night
got up next morning I could smell curry in the laundry room looked for my boots sloped in the garden by the misses.

I've changed many fan motors from Indian restaurants /takeaways.
Takes ages to get the aroma off the tools and clothes.
Not too unpleasant though. I used to love Indian food.

Laundry room? now that's cool...

I just asked me fifteen year old lad,what that was,and he said "It's usually any space left,on my bedroom carpet,Dad....nite"

 

[buzzlightyear]

now that place where I worked even the rats where chewing through the concrete to get at the curry believe me.

I ordered some stuff from them a couple of months ago and was a bit disappointed that the old code didn't work.

They sent me a mug, a pen and a ruler though, so... err... yay.

Don't get me wrong, the service was good and the price reasonable. But next time I'll shop around.

 

[Dannyg8810]

I’d order without a discount due to mug and Yorkshire tea bag plus there prices are good regardless

 

[SJD]

I think having to ring up to beg for a discount misses the point. I typically order materials online in the evening, when nobody would answer the phone, so with no discount code, I will compare their standard price with anyone else's.

I wasn't aware they gave a discount, but bought my new tester from them a couple of weeks ago anyway as it was the best price I could find. Thought I might get a proving unit, and they do the Megger690 at £82 inc vat and the wee kewtech kr2 for £14.10, compared with s-fix at £104.99 and £24.99 respectively, so I do think their pricing is pretty keen. It's a hard market...
