I once worked in a small automotive electrical rebuilding shop where I used one of these beasts daily. The fact that Iโm still here to tell you about it demonstrates that you were right about the lightbulb limiting the current in the test probe circuit but it still made a nasty little arc every time there was a complete circuit. We kept a pair of insulated rubber gloves right next to the thing and I always used them.

2022-07-30 02:27:58 +0000 UTCThe detent mechanism is just making the holes slightly conical instead of perfectly tubular

2022-07-29 21:01:33 +0000 UTCWith the probes: Make a block of wood with 2 parallel holes in it big enough to take the wooden part of the probes, to act as a storage holder/protector! Extra points if you make some sort of detent mechanism or something to keep the probes stuck in the block, so that they don't just fall out if the cable moves or gets lightly pulled on. This could even be attached to a piece of wood that the growler gets mounted on, since it seems to be designed to be bolted to something.

2022-07-29 06:33:51 +0000 UTCYou need to use a very low power lightbulb, because it also works as your current limiter.

2022-07-28 21:37:28 +0000 UTCI agree maybe some nice large ones on an insulating block?

2022-07-28 20:53:45 +0000 UTCSince the Probes Of Deathโข are at line voltage, it would probably be within electrical codes to put a standard 120 V plug/socket in line so you could at least unplug them when not in use. IANA Electrician, of course ...
