    Kewtech KT63

    May be a bit late here, but I would advise steering well clear of Kewtech. I bought a KT63 and it is rubbish. Not as easy to use as others. I'd stick with a Megger.

    Kewtech KT63

    Just always seen 6mm or 10mm CPC running from the CU in training. Do you not think it needs upgrading?
