I am a bit upset to see a round tip meter probe being stuck up an IEC lead free socket - this tends to open the contact fingers and result in poor contact and arcing, thus ruining a previously perfectly good lead.
If you really must, then carry around the mating half and use that for testing the resistance of cables. Make sure you have unplugged the right one first though.
