I'm thinking of doing this myself. A S/H PAT tester would seem to pay
for itself pretty quickly, just from cost-savings.


I've got a robin Smartpat 5000 for sale for £250 ono.

And £160 for eight items is a rip off, should be nearer £50 - £60, because

Hi,

What does a PAT tester do, does it test the insulation between L/N and
E? What about double insulated appliances in that case?

If the OPs friend got the kit and qualifications for PAT testing he
could make the cost back doing PAT testing for other traders.

cheers,
Pete.
