With as much of the chassis of the knife visible it would scare me to attempt to use it in a tight place. Dual's link is the good way. Fluke's work alright but bind after some use.

If you're referring that insulation piercing probe, it's made by EZ-Hook. Seems like a pretty rugged and simple design, so it should last quite a while with reasonable care.
Sounds strange, but it's kinda fun to use, and nice that the spring loading maintains the connection securely hands free, leaving you able to fiddle with other stuff while monitoring the signal, like pressing the remote or engaging the starter, for instance.

By the way, which Fluke probe do you have?  Just wondering what the differences between these two types might be- 

Can't really see what might cause it to bind with use, except maybe if it got bent; that'd definitely do it.

the paint on the knife isn't conductive i had to scrape away alot of the paint on the inside and measure resistance on cotinuity a few times before re-assebling.
the spring loaded action sounds very good on teh ez-hook its difficult to hold the stanley with one hand on a wire..
getting the hang of it though LOL
Why oh Why didn't i take the blue pill
