As a mother I can say none of that sounds particularly safe to me! Though I am not entirely sure if it is or not....  :-//

pfffft. motherly instinct thinks nothing is safe. 120v touching both prongs all you feel is a tingle in your hand. ( I have done this multiple times when I was a kid unplugging my gamecube) My body is either very resilient to electric shock or its safe enough! :P
EDIT: Twas never on purpose... It was really hard to unplug.

*I do not endorse inducing yourself to electrical shock... EVER!

@zerorisers, I remember when I was perhaps 9 or 10 and connecting my SNES to the tv/wall. Put the power supply cable in my mouth to have both hands free...it was already plugged into the wall! I never did that again, gave me quit a shock! Even at that age I felt like I had performed a 'homer'! "DOH!"

@TrunKate - I forgot to send you the tracking number for the package with the test leads but I checked today and it was indicated as "delivered". Let me know if you didn't receive it.

@zerorisers - Yours seem to have just arrived in your state, hopefully it won't be long until you receive it.

I hope your forum signature isn't applicable to the leads.  :-//

I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Got the test leads today, the just smell like high quality. They are amazing, and I would definitely provide the link of your store to any electronics enthusiast I meet. Yesterday I went to a meeting at precision technologies and they are allowing me an internship so I get to learn a whole bunch more! Just need to finish my fafsa application so that I can go to college over the summer to take some core credit classes. Thank you all for everything. This is helping me so much. Taking apart this old plasma screen TV. I'm thinking of converting it to something less of a power hog. Also need to see why it doesn't turn on when i press the power button. standby power works tho. there is a strange noise from the board tho and it changes in pitch with flexing. Maybe ill figure it out later today.

Wow! Glad to hear that you are getting good use out of it! I have two plasmas to fix. Watch out for those capacitors though, then can really bite!!

I am so glad to see that people have good and safe equipment in their hands to learn with. The Fluke 27s should last a good long time. The bench meter is also a nice thing to have, no batteries to replace!
