I was surfing earlier today and landed on a site, mentioned about how to make test probes safer. I thought might be useful to someone else just starting out on amp making.

Testing your Amp
" In Photo 5 you will see a standard test lead probe that has been made much safer. I slipped some pieces of heat-shrink tubing over the shaft and shrank them with a heat source, leaving only a small portion of the tip bare at the end. This tubing is rated for 600V and will keep you from shorting the probe to ground or other connections while touching the test points on the circuit. This will keep you and your amp much happier."
Stay safe out there
