how do you store meter leads?

[joedodge]

Do you guys wrap them around the meter roll them up and throw them in the drawer what do you all do. My electrical drawer at the shops a mess

 

[bsaint]

I wrap them up separately and put them in the pocket in the meter bag.

 

[balane]

I opt for the latter choice.

.

 

[joedodge]

Mine are typically just looped up and thrown in the drawer Idk if I'm **** enough for the bread ties

 

[Conductor562]

My Klein MM200 has nice little built in clips for them on the back.

 

[hifi_hokie]

Addicted to these things...

 

[metaldad]

rolled up and placed in each individual meter's pouch

 

[joedodge]

My fluke 87 has the spots on the back I just never liked bending the cords that much just wears thwm out faster. My meters dont have pouches

 

[Davefr]

This is what I use:

 

[joedodge]

Man that's slick wish there was a way to lock them up if I had a hutch I'd mount that in it in a heartbeat

 

[ndoran]

chuck em in the draw they get used too often to mess around tying them up

 

[joedodge]

Ndoran that's exactly pretty much how mine are they get used often was curious what others do

 

[RPH]

Coiled and in the meter pouch. Additional spares have their own pouch, still coiled up.

 

[Tarheelgarage]

chuck em in the draw they get used too often to mess around tying them up

This.

I don't have time to wrap leads tiddy and put them in a fur lined pouch...

 

[joedodge]

Lol no tool polishing aloud in my box

 

[jeffmoss26]

I keep my meter and leads in a padded/zippered microphone bag.

 

[joedodge]

Wow delicate.......

 

[redwrench60]

My meter leads are lovingly coiled, tied and gently placed on the thighs of virgins.

 

[joedodge]

Man my **** thrown in my drawer can't touch that...... I understand organization but some guys take it to an extreme with the storage bins trays and polishing how do theu get work done

 

[redwrench60]

That was back before the economy went to **** though, I had to fire the virgins. Nowadays I coil the leads around the meter and cram it back in the case.

 

[joedodge]

Lmao

 

[Altec]

All tangled in a drawer, or wrapped around the meter.

 

[RV77]

My fluke has a magnet strap and It hangs in my hutch w/leads over the top.

 

[sloorider]

I wrap mine around my fingers in a figure eight and tie them with a small piece of solid wire, will not tangle this way and store in pouch with meter.

 

[mncountrydoc]

I have the bag from fluke that I use works great

 

[littletoes]

Yellow colored klein bag (you can get 'em in different colors!), which is the same color as my Fluke 87.

When I have a project that needs a Fluke, the whole bag goes, and I have 'em where I need 'em.

Keep my OBD II is in the blue one.

[transittech]

Coil them up and zip tie, then throw them in the electrical drawer. Use 'em about twice a week.

 

[87FoRunner]

cheapy meter gets wrapped up and tossed in.

Expensive MDTECH Matco gets a special place in Kennedy box.

 

[theoldwizard1]

Came with its own pouch

 

[dirtydogintex]

wrapped around the meter for a quick ****** n go!

 

[lilredex]

 

[chrisziem]

Zipped bag

 

[TheCarbideRat]

Bins help me find my sanity

 

[hifi_hokie]

I don't see a bin marked Sanity...how long does it take to find it?

 

[TheCarbideRat]

Ksnort depends on the situation. Sometimes my boss forgets his maxipads and since we all know it has been scientifically proven that **** rolls downhill, ....

 

[crewchief888]

wrapped around the meter

meter is in my electrical box with everything else in my service truck

i'd wrap them around a virgin's silky smooth thighs,
if i could find one

 

[Matt472]

wrapped around the meter for a quick ****** n go!

This. And my jumper wires are usually tangled up in a mess too.

 

[joedodge]

So I'm not the only one with a pig pen electrical drawer

 

[greasemonkey44]

So I'm not the only one with a pig pen electrical drawer

nope; mine are wrapped around the meter
piercing and aligator clamps leads are tossed in there too
along with scope leads and a power probe with 20' cord
so yeah; get pretty crazy sometimes

 

[Lotek]

Don't wrap them around the meter, I keep mine in the Fluke box under the meter, but extras are in an old blowmolded tool box coiled loosly. Would a slightly used virgin work, Redwrench? Lots of those around...
