As anyone used these little babies?

Just wondering what people think of them?

Looks like they could save you some time testing but are they universal and fit all testers?

All the KT stuff accepts the standard probes.

havent used them tho.

trouble is, which one to get first??

 

[WarrenG]

Was thinking of just picking the set up, heard you can get it for about £50-£60?

Covered all ways then.

All British Gas sparks will soon be supplied with these, makes doing all those periodics, and new install tests much easier .

Yeah like the sound of them..........I will have to keep my eye out for a British Gas Van then.......just kiddin...lol

 

[slocm3105]

Just for the records warren, what part of the world are you from?

 

[WarrenG]

Lets just say the very middle bit.

 

[slocm3105]

not birmingham? :O

They do look neat, need to find a kit price though £20 a shot's a bit steep

I've got the full set and have got on real well with them. I did have to buy a set of leads with them as the leads that came with my Fluke wouldn't go with them. THat being said the new leads are far better than the fluke ones so that was no loss.

I got a similar set, made by 'Socket & See', look identical just orange in colour and a bit cheaper. Still not cheap but a useful little gadget, especially when doing a 'no trip' ELI and you have to use the Live, Earth and Neutral leads with the tester.
Use them for periodics mainly, the GU10 one is never used as most fittings are double insulated.

 

[pushwire]

Good point... Anyone had an inspector insist all the spots are removed and the earth dug out and tested?

 

[kung]

yes i have the bc one its proved very usefull will get all soon ! saves time and anything that saves us time is a plus.

 

[albi]

these are a good idea to keep your hands free as you do your testing but dont forget you still need to drop the rose for your earth.

 

[Tapouchoke]

Got the bc one good and saves time on my periodics as i carry out allot

going to get the gu10 version as well

 

[kung]

Also the kewtech/socketnsee R2 socket adapter is a good choice.
Saved me loads of time.

 

[Guest123]

Yeah, I got one of them R2 jobbies, nifty bit of kit.

 

[kung]
