This is a good one for the rumour mill.

A friend at college said he went to a specialist shop and while he was there buying something else he enquired about the cost of a PAT testing machine.

The bloke behind the counter said "I'm not sure it'll be worth your while getting one mate, once our current stock of them is gone we're not getting any more in as they're being phased out."

This could just be that they haven't sold many and are no longer going to stock them, but he specifically said they were being phased out.

Can anyone more in the know shed any light on the subject?
 
Did that just mean this particular wholesaler is phasing them out because it's not worth their while stocking them?????, or they can't be bothered to change to the correct description ISITEE thinks that's the right description.
 
My guess would be that particular model is being phased out and replaced with a newer shinier more expensive one
 
One major use of PAT testing has been for organisations to ensure and demonstrate compliance with health and safety law and that will certainly not be changing.
