Coil on Plug Magic Wand testers ?
I used my xmas Amazon vouchers to buy one of those magic wand coil on plug testers, mine wasn't the Sealey one but an unbranded one that
appears identical to the Sealey item. To cut a long story short when the tool came within a few days but was dead on arrival and Amazon were very
quick to refund the cost with no mention (yet) of returning the item to China.
Anybody in Locost land using one ? should I order another ?
The non-working Chinese tool is identical to the Sealey VS5270 apart froom colour and price Sealey COP tester link

So basically you've bought a chinese knock-off (empty casing) of a Sealey tool... you really should know better than that.
I've lost count of the number of "genuine parts" that customers have bought from the WWW for a fraction of the price I quoted, that
have then turned of to be (effectivly) empty casings.

You actually think Sealey make anything they simple bulk order rebranded stuff from other manufacturers and add a massive mark up.

The same problem is also spreading into electronic components themselves, the device looks spot on but they're just an empty piece of plastic
with the component legs sticking out!.
Cheap is not always a good idea...

You actually think you got a bargain?
