I would not personally buy a second hand piece of any type of safety equipment purely because you need to know it works correctly and I dont think theres a way of testing them.

Just my opinion.

well that was my other concern m8

you can get em serviced, new batteries and re-certified, but chances are by the time you\'ve paid for that lot you\'d be within shouting distance of a brand new one.

check what frequency it is on as one of the frequencies is going to be obsolete soon
