The OEM for these (and some of TIS's other better meters) is Brymen, and if you're used to Brymen test probes you'd have likely have noticed because *usually* the screw on doohickeys come in a little plastic bag which makes it really obvious. There is a very hidden mention in the Brymen BT-71/73/75 datasheet that there might be this function but I can't see anything in their manual either. I still think the Fluke Twistguard is the least bad compromise.
While I really like and subscribe to your excellent channel, I detest click-bait youtube headlines. I know that this was meant in a joking fashion, but could very easily be misinterpreted as clickbait.
I have seen that design but I have not seen the twist off section design yet that's interesting. I like the style but it's still going to have issues with depth of insertion within manufacturing tolerances and manufactures that don't care. It's one thing to slip it's another thing to purposely have your fingers below the ridges. And unfortunately most of my socks have been due to the North American outlet not having sleeved pins on plugs. Except for my recent scandal not safely isolating a circuit, I assumed it was a fully switched off circuit at the wall switch except for this was a two way switch to reverse motor direction on a really old motor mechanism controlling a curtain that hadn't been used and probably 50 years and had seized up in all manner. On the upside I'm now recharged for another 10, 15, 20 years?
Why are you doing a 'continuity' test live? If it's not live, why do you have to comply with GS38? If they are live, are you in compliance with the E@WR?

I get it . I really do....But is there no common sense anymore.....dont put your bloody fingers near the metal tip.... EVER 😮

Personally I think GS38 is a crock of [insert expletive of choice]. Keep your fingers behind the guard points on the probe and no problem.

Have you watched the video?

To save you continually unscrewing the contact pins leave them off the tester less faffing a round
My kids need shoes, I’m gonna take care, ain’t no tsunami gonna happen 🤨
My kids need shoes, I’m gonna take the risk, there’s hardly a tsunami gonna happen.
It's alright, Any idiot could make that mistake. Or do I'm told.
Not exactly hidden is it😂
Not a peep in the instructions
