Interesting that no one has named a non-conducting tool. That is
something I've not yet seen.
There are ceramic inserts:

Which I'd like to learn about, but first I have to allow their site to
check me out with all sorts of cookies. Taint gonna happen. If they have
something to sell, show it to me. Their web page composer is far more
interested in phishing for saleable data than in actually selling me
anything. That's what you get when they have no knowledge of web things
and farm out their web page to a black hat.
Besides, the use of an inserted tool for an electrical probe doesn't
seem to make sense to me. From the name alone, which indicates a
titanium content of some sort, titanium is a conductive metal. Might be
a higher ohmic resistance than the solid metal, but a total insulator?
Doubtfull. For ceramics, the expert folks that may not be free to bare
it all would Coors beer. I visited their site in a Denver burb once and
bought 2 of their ashtrays, supposedly made from the same ceramic that
coated the bottom of the space shuttle and advertised as unbreakable.
Took my 2nd wife, who could break anything, about 10 years of throwing
them onto concrete floors to see how high they'd bounce before breaking
the first one. I think the 2nd left with her in '85. Never tested for
electrical conductivity, they were white and I never thought to check.
When she left, she rented me a room, moved all my stuff into it, brought
me the key and address & gave me $100 to eat till payday. I thought
about it and bought a 6 pack to celebrate, she had made my life hell for
the last time. She did give me one other parting gift, she'd been
cooking the tax books and the Infernal Revenoo Service came to me with a
$27,000 tax bill. Took me a while to fix that. I've had the ultimate
revenge though, she only made it to 71 and my next b-day if I make it to
October will be my 90th.
Take care and stay well Andy & all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
