Serious question about multimeter probe tips
I do a lot of work on older corporate jets here in Wichita, and I keep running into other techs who use those cheap pointed probe tips for everything. The other day a guy was trying to check a connector pin on a Garmin unit and his probe slipped off, shorted two pins, and blew a fuse on the power supply board. Took him an hour to track down the damage. Why are so many guys still using the wrong tips for the job? Has anyone else dealt with this kind of avoidable issue from bad tools?
