Help! A vixen ate my test leads.

Chris Pearson

A bit of light relief for you, if not me.

So, whilst making progress towards being PV ready, I was checking the PSCC and PEFC i.a.w. 643.7.3.201 (and Ze) at the origin. Whilst I was exposing the innards of DB1, which is in a corner of the garage, my MFT was sitting on a pile of logs nearby. I popped indoors to get a tool and found the young vixen looking not in the slightest bit guilty.

I can cope with the foxes using the lawn as a latrine. I can just about cope with them (and worse, badgers) digging holes in it. Worse still is digging up spuds. What takes the biscuit is eating my MFT leads! Rage

  • Sorry, but that did make me laugh Chris Joy Hope you weren't too attached to them/have some spares.

    I think the bigger issue might be that, if I have my information correct, this type of test lead is discontinued, so it's a complete set at between £40 and £70 depending on where you get it from. And the pain of having to stop the job and nip out to the wholesalers unless you have a spare set knocking around.

    New individual lead + probe+croc clip of this type are going for about £40 on a certain online auction site. Used ones much cheaper, but of course you don't know how good those would be actually in use day-to-day.

    Spot on. I rang Megger this morning, but individual leads are not available.

    The annoyance is ending up with a second set of probes and clips. In the end, the cheapest option (by a small margin) was fused leads, which are available without the bits and bobs.
