Piercing electrical test leads

Geff’s question:

“When you use piercing electrical test leads as you mentioned, do you have to tape the wire up after piercing the insulation.”

Answer:

Not if you’re really careful and use one of those really sharp pin head piercers. They make a REALLY small hole that pretty much seals back up when you removed the test lead. And anyways, tape is kind of weak, anytime you mess with wiring it’s best to use shrink wrap tubing to cover the wiring then melt it with a heat gun (or hair dryer on full blast.) And smaller wiring holes can best be sealed using silicone sealer from a tube.
