(Dragging DMM Probe design into the 20th century)
Have you seen the spring-loaded style with the built-in hook, like
plastic-covered, spring-loaded gaf?
Yup, they work great. I want an integrated solution, though.
Aren't they, yet?
Nuh uh. We're still in the Dark Ages. At best, we provide a
kit of fiddly little parts that are missing when they are most needed.

At worst, we have separate probes for wire testing and for um. probing.
Nothing remotely 'integrated' in the way I imagine.
The same probes should be able to 'probe' and 'alligator' safely.

It stores the flange adaptors and wrench.

How about $14.95 each with a flat $3.85 shipping fee for
up to 4 pouches? Priority Mail.
You might need some ad copy reminding us how costly it was, last time
we needed to swap a cutting disc for a grinding wheel and the special
wrench was *nowhere to be found*.
Fifteen bucks gets wasted rather quickly under those circs.
You'll want to post photos of the pouch in use with:
* A Moto type power grinder, to hold burrs, cup wheel, cutting discs and arbor, collets
* An angle grinder, to hold flange adaptors and wrench
* A drill motor, to hold screwdriver - and drill bits
* A circular saw, to hold the blade wrench, a 10' steel tape and a carpenter's pencil
* A recipro saw, to hold blades and the Stupid Allen Wrench (TM) to change them
* An air ratchet, to hold most - used sockets and allen drivers
* A Metcal solder iron, to hold tips

Good, it's in stock. I build my NoteSHADES glare guards with it.
Need one of those while we're at it? (shameless plug)

been replaced by a more discreet, white tag on the back.)
Sure! Coulda used one today, in fact.
Let me know when the ToolRoo's* are available. I'll order at the
same time.

OK, You're on. I'll try to whip those out this week.
Radical, dude.

I want to watch her say "ToolRoo" a few times
