In a world where there is a paralysing abundance of choice, Kewtech keeps choosing your PAT tester and, indeed, using your PAT tester, simple!
The choice? Basic, Better, Best.
In this article, we will run through the three PAT testers in the Kewtech range, their functions, benefits and intended users to help you decide on what the right one is for you.
What unites our range?
All PAT testers in the Kewtech range benefit the user by being lightweight, handheld and battery-powered, making testing as you go easy and pain free.
Whether you’re an electrician carrying out occasional PAT testing, a facilities manager responsible for workplace appliances or a dedicated PAT testing professional, we believe the equipment should make your job easier, not harder.
That’s why simplicity sits at the heart of our range.
The real question is how much functionality do you need, how often will you be testing and what do you want to do with your results?
Let’s break it down.
Basic – The EZYPAT
Simple, straightforward PAT testing without the fuss.
The EZYPAT is our entry-level PAT tester that is a reliable, easy-to-use instrument that gets the job done.
Designed with simplicity in mind, the EZYPAT is a great starting point for anyone looking to carry out straightforward portable appliance testing without investing in features they may never use.
Its handheld design makes it particularly convenient for those who need to test appliances in different locations, while its uncomplicated operation makes getting to grips with PAT testing that little bit easier.

Who is the EZYPAT for?
The EZYPAT is an ideal choice for electricians who offer PAT testing alongside their other electrical services, businesses carrying out their own routine appliance checks, and those just starting out in PAT testing.
Offices, schools, charity shops, property management and anywhere where 230V dead testing will do.
If you’re only testing a relatively small number of appliances and don’t require a more advanced approach to recording results, why complicate things?
Sometimes, simple really is best.
Better – The EZYPAT PLUS
Live and Dead testing at 230V & 110V
The EZYPAT PLUS builds on the straightforward approach of the EZYPAT, offering additional functionality for users who need a more versatile PAT testing instrument.
It’s a natural step up for those whose PAT testing requirements are growing, or for electricians who encounter a wider variety of appliances as part of their day-to-day work.
The beauty of the EZYPAT PLUS is that you can benefit from greater testing capability without sacrificing the simplicity that makes the Kewtech range so approachable.

Who is the EZYPAT PLUS for?
The EZYPAT PLUS is ideal for electricians with a number of larger PAT testing jobs that require both live and dead testing.
This is also a great option for facilities managers and other maintenance professionals where 110V appliances are present such as on-site equipment.
The EZYPAT PLUS is for those who want to go beyond the basics without making PAT testing unnecessarily complicated.
Best – The SMARTPAT
Work smarter, not harder.
For those who take their PAT testing seriously, time is money.
And when you’re testing large numbers of appliances, it’s not necessarily the test itself that takes up the most time.
Recording results, identifying appliances, producing labels and keeping track of what’s been tested can all add valuable time to a job.
Kewtech’s solution? The SMARTPAT.
The SMARTPAT sits at the top of the Kewtech PAT tester range, offering a more complete solution for those who want to make their testing and record-keeping process as efficient as possible.
When used as part of Kewtech’s connected PAT testing solution, the SMARTPAT helps take the hassle out of managing test results, making it a particularly attractive option for those carrying out regular or high-volume PAT testing.
SMARTPAT Specification
Controlled remotely from the free KEWPAT app
IT Safe – 500V and 250V insulation test options
230V and 110V run leakage test options

Who is the SMARTPAT for?
The SMARTPAT is the obvious choice for dedicated PAT testing professionals, contractors handling larger commercial contracts and businesses that need a more organised approach to appliance testing records.
It’s also worth considering if you’re looking to grow your PAT testing business.
After all, the more appliances you test, the more valuable an efficient process becomes.
If you’re spending as much time dealing with paperwork as you are testing appliances, perhaps it’s time to work a little smarter.
The World’s Fastest Testing Solution!
Meet the KEW80L Printer and KEWPAT App.
Because carrying out the electrical tests is only part of the job. You’ve still got to record the results, keep track of the appliances and, produce the appropriate labels and documentation.
Kewtech’s KEW80L Bluetooth label printer and free KEWPAT App are designed to help streamline that process.
Rather than treating testing, labelling and record-keeping as separate jobs, the aim is to bring them together into one smoother workflow.
The KEW80L offers a convenient way to produce PAT testing labels, while the KEWPAT App provides a digital approach to managing your testing records…for FREE!
Both the label printer and the app work alongside any of the Kewtech PAT testers, though for the truly fastest testing solution, they pair remotely in an ecosystem with the SMARTPAT with test results automatically documented and reports generated instantly.
Less paperwork. Less hassle.
So, Which Kewtech PAT Tester Should You Choose?
Ultimately, the best PAT tester isn’t necessarily the one with the most features. It’s the one that best suits the work you do.
If you’re looking for a straightforward, no-nonsense PAT tester for occasional use, the EZYPAT is a great place to start.
If you need additional testing capability such as live run leakage testing and a little more flexibility, the EZYPAT PLUS offers a natural step up.
And if you’re looking for a more efficient way to manage the entire process, the SMARTPAT is the one to consider.
Three testers. Three levels of functionality. One simple choice.
Basic. Better. Best.
