Axholme Ferreter 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Stubby, I got one of those last year and I think its very good. Its amazing how much life there is in MK3 collar batteries. I had been changing them every couple of months but since getting this gadget I have been using some for 2 years now. I have easily saved the outlay of the tester. It is also useful if a collar stops working you can check strait away if its the batteries or not. I had a collar stop working in March, it was fairly new so I was a bit peeved. I checked the batteries and one was fine but the other had gone dud so I was able to fix the problem strait away with no head scratching. I always carry one of these testers now and a couple of spare batteries both for collars and receiver when I go out ferreting, they do not weigh much or take up much space at the bottom of the ferreting bag but you only need them once and its all worthwhile. All the best AF Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 That's the kiddie! Stubs; I had one of those things for Years! Lost it and bought a different type because I just didn't see that one again at the time. The new one's hanging on a hook in my kitchen to this day. It actually came as a key ring. Ye damn right; How can Anyone get along without a Battery Tester?! They really are f*cking brilliant! Get One, you people! Quote Link to post

Order some batteries as well and it shares the postage. I never order just the one thing for that very reason. But they are bloody good devices, whatever Edited July 6, 2008 by droid Quote Link to post
