GS38... so easy to find, yet so often misinterpreted.
I've removed the factory fitted 'GS38 compliant probe covers' (irony quotes) from my (catIV) multimeter, and installed rubber sleeves (hellerman sleeves are awesome for this)
Do the same job, preventing drawing an arc accidentally, but they get out of the way when probing terminal screws in a DB . The original hard plastic ones left a miserable 1mm of conical probe tip that stood NO chance of maintaining reliable contact with a cross/flat combination screws, and removing them derated the probes to cat II !
