Thanks for that Chris.

I’ve got the 150, better get it sorted.

Just got a shipping label no packaging, no time scale and what do I whilst I am meter less?
Obviously well thought out.

I was under the impression that they would be sending the shipping labels out but i have just had a email with a link to print one out.
Will post tomorrow and see how long it takes.

Thanks for the heads up, need to check mine as I think it falls inside the recall critera

 

[colaboy]

I’ve got the label printed.
I’m just going to put it in a Jiffy bag with the label on and take it to the local shop.
See what happens.

I only found up when a random link popped up on one of my news feeds, my tester would of come from one of 3 big test gear sellers and to be hones i am very surprised that they have not contacted customers as they must know what and when they have sold products.
I have let lots of people know and as of yet haven't met anyone who was already aware.

I was in Screwfix this morning and they had a recall notice on the counter for the T110.

I was surprised that I didn’t hear anything from RS.

Told me once they get it a replacement is sent within 48 hours

Thanks for this, just sent my T150 off this morning.

 

[colaboy]

Has anyone had anything back yet?

Paul

 

[WorkshopChris]

Not yet hope to see something early next week.

 

[colaboy]

Yeah me too.
I know it’s Fluke and they’re not a fly by night operation or anything. I just don’t want to end up £150 out of pocket.
I thought they might have sent an email saying they’d received it or despatched another one or something.

[brightspark]

they must think you don't use them 7days a week or can manage without them possibly use something better

 

[colaboy]

Lo and behold, fifteen minutes later I receive an email confirming they’ve received it.
I was a bit hasty there.

Paul

 

[winchman]

I too have the received email.
I know lets do a recall, we can send them to the Netherlands????
Why not just have exchange stock in wholesalers branches, walk in swap it? Sound too simple as you say what do you use whilst its away?

 

[colaboy]

I may be wrong but, I don’t think there are any in branches, they’ve all been recalled. I know RS don’t have any.

Same hear they must of processed a batch.

 

[colaboy]

One good thing has come out of all this, it has reminded me how much I hated my Stienel Combi Check.
Can't wait to throw that thing back in the draw.

Just as an update to this i have spoken to someone at fluke UK today who tracked my meter and it should hopefully be with me today (via UPS).
Apparently they are snowed under as they have received lots more testers than they were expecting..
They are working through the backlog.
Will update when it arrives.
I was starting to worry that it was some elaborate con trick and someone was going to flood eBay with lots of used tester, and disappear into the sunset.
EDIT > ups have just delivered.

 

[brightspark]

its obvious there not going to let on that there's a whole stack of them faulty
