cheap extention lead set up

[thekingiam]

i was looking into buying a extention reel for measuring and came across a kewtech gadget that uses any household extention lead was thinking about what i had in my tool box already and made this set up all i am missing is a test lead with crocodile clip attachment what do you think?
would my assesor be happy?

 

[thekingiam]

does anyone know where i can buy a cheap set of leads that would plug into r2 socket and have crocodile clip attachment?

 

[thekingiam]

it works! anyone else thought of this? if anyone wants to buy a simillar product i will sell you a set for 50 quid not including extention reel or postage.

Think £50 might be a bit OTT unless you do free postage and a set of test leads.

50 might be a bit dear what about 40?
do you know where i can buy some sort of label to hide the kewtech and martindale one?

 

[ruston]

Yeah just stick a bog standard voltage type warning notice over it with the lightning bolt on it , job done lol.( Yeah I know it's mostly dead test before you all jump on me lol)

 

[Submains]

One of these would assist in the removal of the labels.



Or even some of this.



As a last resort.

i was going to buy one until i thought up this way,but why stop at 30 metres why not 50 .
my way you can use something you own already use as many extention cables needed ( within reason, cheap and less lugage to carry around.

Yep I got the 50m R2 ext lead at £50 also made some croc clips jump leads (got the croc set from Maplin)

The extension lead cobbled together with socket adapters and all that seem great, but it soon become a little cumbersome what dragging it all about on an EICR.

You then think forking out for a proper R2 lead isn't a bad idea after all.
