I might pick one up, when I can afford to do so. Right now I can't even afford a thermistor much less an HV probe.
And the rest of your post was unnecessary. You're talking to a guy who recently wrestled with the exhaust system on his truck for 12 hours before the damn parts would line up. I'm no stranger to working on vehicles, or the various injuries resulting from it. Any stripes that I needed to earn, buddy I earned them years ago and there's nothing cowardly about not wanting to risk 15 KV traveling through your body.
