[Test-Equipment] Re: [TekScopes] Probing terminal strips

[J. Forster]

Snap-On and some Sears stores sold screw holders for slotted and Phillips
screws. You might try those, adding insulated handles. The slotted ones had a
little part that turned in the center of the screw. You cocked the thing, then
pushed it onto the screw, and it snapped holding to the head.
