Cliff Quicktest spares.
Added 2019-03-26 19:46:14 +0000 UTCSomebody got in touch regarding a broken Cliff Quicktest component and I can't find the original message.
If it was here, could they drop me a message again and I'll give them an email to contact about getting a spare part.

<a href="https://youtu.be/P_TuyXdfACM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/P_TuyXdfACM</a> I Have Seen a Few Of Your "Questionable" Videos. All Good. I Also Put One Out There That Might Be "Questionable" . Could-ja Take A Look At It And Explain Why As Creators That We Should Be Careful As To Disclaim That "Don't Try This At Home" is Waiver For Our Insanity . Please Enjoy Mine As I Enjoy Yours. (Plug And Play OK) @ PATREON............Look For The Pug:)D

2019-03-27 12:08:37 +0000 UTCThey're not really intended for running appliances continuously. Just doing tests on the bench. I'd guess the main weakness will be the spring loaded contacts after the usual wear and tear of years of use.

2019-03-27 12:06:40 +0000 UTCI'm surprised about its low duty cycle ratings, e.g. 25% at 13A per 10 minutes on Cliff's website. This basically limits their use to just a few minutes usage for appliances with heating elements. This would be a problem where a fault occurs after they've warmed up (e.g. faulty thermostat, tumble dryer moisture sensor, etc.) Maybe time for Clive to try some high current tests with a FLIR or even a teardown on one. :-)

2019-03-27 11:04:25 +0000 UTCWhat I would like (to be economical and clever) is to be able to use the three phase version safely for other stuff using custom cables. So if I'm at my bench I can use it for voltages accessible there, then un plug it and bring it to a three phase station be able to test stuff there. Is there any value to this notion?

2019-03-27 09:27:46 +0000 UTCDoesn't everyone?
2019-03-27 06:34:37 +0000 UTCI think the difference is that the cheaper one comes without a lead and plug and with a different fuse. Anyone having a use for Quicktest will buy that and fit their own I'm sure. <a href="http://www.cliffuk.co.uk/products/tools/quicktest.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.cliffuk.co.uk/products/tools/quicktest.htm</a>

2019-03-26 22:27:45 +0000 UTCBC, this is why we all know that you're only in this for the Big YouTube-Bucks (or Pounds or....) Thank you for all the "taking to bits" that you show us.
2019-03-26 21:44:41 +0000 UTCClive mentioned that CPC.farnell.com sell them There is a NEW one with LEDs pity there is no picture and it is the same datasheet just £7 cheaper and :-/ it has a RoHS were the original was not ??? <a href="https://cpc.farnell.com/search?st=Quicktest" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://cpc.farnell.com/search?st=Quicktest</a> My Quicktest is from 1980 as used on the Tumble drier production line, it is more exciting since the push button contacts are metal; it just makes it look more dangerous. Clive I hope you do not mind me re-posting this again? John

2019-03-26 21:31:45 +0000 UTCCool. I hope he gets it sorted.
2019-03-26 20:17:04 +0000 UTCThat's the one, thanks. I've sent John a message.

2019-03-26 19:59:42 +0000 UTCYeah, that's not a bad idea actually. They should certainly sell well in the states (not that you could sell 'em legally, I don't imagine)
