I always loved watching a guy use a clamp on meter for the first time and capturing both wires and sayin - huh this is a bad line.
I bought 3 of my amprobe clamp-on for pennies on the dollar from pawn shops this way.
Me : May I check this meter ?
Them : Sure
Me: Finds a drill on the shelf, puts the clamp-on around the cord. Press the trigger on the drill. Hmmmm must be something wrong, needle don't move. I 'll give you $ _______
Them. Ok
Not my job to teach electrical theory.
