Metrel DeltaPAT BT & Godex Complete Review

If you're after a full-featured test and tag print kit built to handle dirty, dusty, or high-volume worksites - without the frills, the Metrel DeltaPAT & Godex Complete Kit is a solid pick.

It's not the sleekest or most compact system out there, but it gets the job done efficiently and reliably. For the price, it's hard to beat if you want long-lasting test tags and a rock-solid testing process.

Key Features of the DeltaPAT BT & Godex Complete Kit

The Metrel DeltaPAT & Godex Complete Kit has been around for a while now, and for good reason. It pairs the tried-and-tested Metrel DeltaPAT 3309 BT appliance tester with a Godex thermal transfer printer to deliver one of the most durable print solutions in the test and tag industry.

While it doesn't have the smart features or modern polish of kits like the Metrel Delta Pro Print Pack, it makes up for it with no-nonsense reliability, hard-wearing labels, and a simple QR re-testing workflow that speeds up the job.

Rugged Thermal Transfer Printing

The Godex printer is a desktop-style thermal transfer printer with a battery pack retrofitted to allow mobile use. It's bulkier than a belt-clipped printer but produces ultra-durable tags that resist heat, fading, and smudging – ideal for construction, mining, or dirty worksites.

Each tag includes your logo (pre-uploaded by us), test info, QR code, and retest date – giving you a polished and compliant look without handwriting or stickers peeling off halfway through a job.

Dual Power & Portability

This test and tag print kit runs on battery or mains, which gives you more flexibility than mains-only models like the Wavecom TnP-500. The tester itself is compact and field-ready, while the Godex printer is heavier but still mobile thanks to its included NiMH rechargeable battery.

The custom carry case fits all gear neatly inside – including your Android tablet or phone if you're using one.

Android-Based QR Retesting

Instead of a handheld scanner, this system relies on your Android device. Although it's not included, many test and tag pros pick up older Android devices for a couple of hundred bucks and use them purely for testing and tagging. Using the camera via the PATLink app, you can scan tags and instantly bring up previous test results.

It's not the most advanced app (compared to aPAT), but it works well for quick retesting and data syncs. The simplicity also makes it ideal for those who want to avoid complex software or PC-based setups. It's worth mentioning that if you have your heart set on the aPAT software, it can be purchased separately and used with this kit.

How it Performs in the Field

The DeltaPAT & Godex kit is a bit of a workhorse. It's not flashy, and it doesn't come with every smart feature under the sun - but when it comes to getting the job done, day in and day out, it delivers. In real-world use, the Metrel DeltaPAT 3309 BT tester is fast and reliable. It powers on quickly, runs through each test without lag, and shows clear results on a bright screen. If you're working through dozens or hundreds of appliances in a single shift, you'll appreciate the speed and consistency.

The Godex printer is the main reason for choosing this kit over more modern options. It's bulkier, yes - it's not something you clip to your belt - but it prints high-quality, thermal transfer tags that don't smudge, fade, or peel, even in dusty, hot, or outdoor environments. That alone can save you headaches if your clients demand long-lasting, professional-looking tags (like in mining or industrial sites).

The QR re-testing workflow is where things speed up - just scan a test tag with your Android phone or tablet, and the PATLink app pulls up the asset history. No digging through files or manually entering data again, saving heaps of time on return visits or for businesses doing ongoing maintenance work.

The kit's custom hard case fits everything securely - no loose leads or rattling parts — and because the printer runs on its own battery, you can test and print all day without plugging it in. That makes it especially handy when you're moving between sites or working in places where power outlets aren't always convenient.
