[Techtoolslist] Tech Tip - Protecting those Fluke POD UUT pins!

[Andrew Welburn]

i use regular not turned, because it just depends what you're plugging 
it into, some wont fit, some you dont want to bend the pins inside the 
uut socket too much etc.. mix and match, you don't have to keep the same 
one on there.
