I feel I need to give a better explanation as none of the answers I have had thus far answer my query, and so reading back my initial post I don't think I was clear enough. Thanks to those that have replied though.
My company is a PAT Testing company; it is what we do. Currently we use Seaward Europa's which are a fantastic piece of kit and do everything that has to be done; I have no problems with them, Seaward as a company are brilliant and I can't fault them. The Europa's are calibrated annually by a 3rd party and we check them ourselves every month, so they are always correct.
What I am looking to do, for expansion purposes is purchase one or more Seaward 350's. Which are a hand-held wireless testing machine, that doing everything the Europa does, and more.
I am not and will not buy from ebay, only from reputable companies, what I was asking is if anyone knows of any companies that offer reasonable prices, trade discounts or offers when buying more than one.
I have a very good company I purchase my equipment from now, it's just their price for this machine is very expensive when looking to buy more than one. Which is why I was asking for advice.
Can anyone help?
As a specialist electrical testing company (Pat Testing is just one service we offer) we use and have used a number of electrical testers across different brands.
Megger / Avo are far superior in our book and would always be the first on the list.
Those that were big fans of Robin now tend to buy Fluke when they bought out Robin.
Seaward have had the monoply on the PAT market for some years because there hasn't really been any others that have extended the ranges of features that Seaward have.
Its great to say that a product can do this and that provided that you can actually back it up.
In my experience, Seaward poorly support their products and they are very tempreamental, features that don't actually work when you put them together. Not something that I want as a qualified professional electrical tester.
I would and do highly recommend that potential customers stay well clear of Seaward based on the losses my company has made over the years due to the failing of Seaward kit. No more for us.
I can understand that because Seaward live in your neck of the woods you would support them, but if do support them, why not make the purchases if you consider the kit is value for money?
As an alternative, why not look at the new Metrel Gammapat Pro on the market?
You haven't said what your budget is but this machine seems to self calibrates, its battery handheld and carries a 3 year warranty.
I don't have one but its looks a very competitive product?

Good luck.
