What tester(s) did you have I have a 1553 but if you are going through them at a rate would you not be better getting a Metrel is cheap I hear its good and you get a warranty

Is it the DiLog tester that broke DS?

 

[DurhamSparky]

Yea it's decide to go "off" again.... New battery's and stuff but again it's just DEAD

 

[oldtimer]

So I take it we dont get to know what make it is

perhaps she meant punching customers not test gear lol.

 

[DurhamSparky]

Ha !!! I would like to punch some customers!!

Yes the tester has had new batteries, fuse, LCD screen, rotary knob, case and pcb!!

Same tester since brand new!!

 

[telectrix]

that's got to be a good tester. we once had a telly my old man had to thump to get it to come on. it lasted 20 years.

 

[DurhamSparky]

I hope I don't have to thump my tester every time.... Looked at ethos but it seems to be a CEF subdivision....

 

[mayfair]

God help ya.

[DurhamSparky]

Yeah that put me off straight away!!

 

[Guest55]

nothing is more frustrating than unreliable test gear.
i'd be offloading it fast , quality 2nd hand bargins off ebay would be my next step.

 

[DurhamSparky]

My testers a second hand off eBay jobby!!! Bought it 2009 and it had never really been used. Had all paperwork and even warranty on it.. Paid 250 for it so idiot does die I will probably look to eBay again.

 

[Guest55]

£250 for a 2nd hand di-log ?
sheesh not a savvy shopper are you lol
i got this on ebay for £160.......



cost £500 new , awesome piece of kit.
dilog is a brand you need to avoid , stick to megger and fluke.

 

[DurhamSparky]

I don't mind di log tbh...

I'm actually looking at the seaward stuff as well. Know people who work at the peterlee factory. So might try for a 5 finger discount..

Ethos is Seaward-- Just at Peterlee in one of the Industrial estates.



Snap 3 mobile is very slow tonight .

 

[DurhamSparky]

Yeah I know where it is,my apprentice worked there for a bit and my parents neighbour Still works there. I had suspicions as lots of the ethos gear looks the same as seaward... Mind you the di log is the same as well...

Don't like fluke.. Too many diddly bits to mess about with.

They must have an affiliation with CEF , they redirected me to them when I wanted thermal labels, They in turn redirected me to RS, funny world int it.

Their parent company is American , I believe they own di-log too , but not sure on that
