The KT65, looks the newer one, all do the same thing.

The KT65 also has a save option to save your Test results and comes with the software and leads to download them.

There is about £100 difference in price so depends what your budget is as well


Why dont you call Kewtech and see if you can get a rep down, also try a few other makes, the reps are usually very happy to come and show off their products.

thanks, for the reply, budget is a issue the more money i save the better, ive been looking at second hand ones, the kt64 is like half the price, i just wanted to make sure i wasnt waisting my money on the older model.

Like I said get a rep around and get their opinion - you might even be able to get a trial version and bring it on site with you.

Make sure they know your also looking at Fluke and a few other makes.

You dont have to go with any of them but its always a good idea.


In the current climate the reps will do anything to get a sale, even knock a large % off items.

Just dont mention about looking at 2nd hand


Is it just Kewtech your looking at, or have you looked at others as well?

Hi phylo, you should read the previous thread below, particularly my cautionary #14 post as this issue is still on going and there has been a buzz on other forums of similar things happening to others.
