Like Kevin's experience with scope leads & probes, I also feel a Wally with commercial crock-clip leads at times. Like the actress said to the bishop, give everything a good pull & poke every now & then, just to make sure its working ok.
Talking of feeling a Wally - in one RAF repair section I was in we had three titles for folk who suffered embarrassing episodes :- "***** of the Day", "Wally of the Week" & "Mug of the Month". All used in a friendly joking manner. Roughly speaking - three DoD's automatically resulted in a WoW, & 3 WoW's resulted in a MoM. WoW's & MoM's were expected to cough up for the first drinks at the next social outing.

Regards, David
