Using It on the Job

1. Always isolate power and follow lockout/tagout procedures before working on live electrical circuits.
2. Attach the crocodile clips firmly to the ends of your standard measuring cables, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
3. Clamp the clips onto the appropriate test points, verifying a good electrical contact with the conductor.
4. Take your measurements using your multimeter or clamp meter; your hands are now free to operate the instrument or make notes.
5. Once measurements are complete, carefully remove the clips and store them in a clean, dry place to prevent damage.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Not for use on live electrical components without first verifying the integrity of the clips and your test leads, and following all safety protocols.
• Always check the voltage and current ratings of your entire measuring setup, including the clips, against the circuit being tested.
• Follow all relevant Australian electrical safety standards and Safe Work guidance when performing electrical diagnostics.
• Ensure clips are clean and free from any damage or corrosion before each use to maintain reliable contact and prevent false readings.

Tradie Pro Tip

When you're out in the field, use these clips to hold your lead steady on a terminal while you log readings or adjust controls. It saves you from juggling leads and prevents accidental short circuits, especially when you're working solo.

Pair With

These crocodile clips pair well with Testo digital multimeters like the Testo 760 series, or any standard measuring cables for a more versatile electrical test kit. Consider adding a good multimeter case to keep your gear organised and protected in the van.
