Martindale EZ150/650 Recall

[kevinaston1]

Do you have a Martindale EZ150 or 650 socket tester in your tool box? If so, please look at: http://martindale-electric.co.uk/imp...ers-a-106.html urgently.

Mine is many years old, and so I queried it with them as to whether such an old unit is covered. Yes, they have sent me a freepost lable to return it for replacement with a new unit.

That is looking after electrical safety at the highest level in my book.

Curiosity gene activated...... any idea what this fault is?

[kevinaston1]

No idea at all.

As I said, it is so old, I cannot even remeber which company I bought it from, which is why I queried it with them.


In ttheir own words "Martindale Electric has identified a potential failure mode of the yellow EZ150 / EZ650 advanced socket testers which could create a hazardous situation. "


Electrical safety is always the zeroeth priority, and if a company are offering to replace such an old item, it must be something serious.

and if a company are offering to replace such an old item, it must be something serious.

Serious enough for lawyers to get involved (read money), probably not a real safety issue. Still I give them 11/10 for diligence.
