Default PAT tester

Any recommendations for any particular PAT tester? It will be used commercially, and will test a very wide range of elecrical goods.

thank you

Budget option, buy separate low ohms, and Insulation testers off ebay
for £50 each or less, make up a variety of plug/socket connectors, and
you are away for less than £150.

Otherwise, get the cheapest version off http://isswww.co.uk/PAT-Testing/

When I was working for a large company, they had one of the Seaward
ones, which was the bees knees then as it did everything which was
required. It was a big bulky machine though, and definitely not for
carrying any distance

Might have to do that. Would need a big 2 way 2 pole switch or we'll spend whole days replugging things.

I'd make the testers, its easy enough, but not sure about the question of calibration though.
