content: I'll also add, a while back he dropped the price to get rid of stock because they weren't selling well. Then they sold out and and then some... Maybe he still hasn't decided for sure to stop selling them, maybe he just hasn't removed it from the store. So send him some mail or an email or maybe he'll see this and reply but you might need to look elsewhere if you need one sooner than later.

content: I think MicSig's much cheaper diff. probe which came out at about the same time kind of killed it. Besides that a high voltage diff. probe still is something people don't buy that quickly. For some reason I have accumulated 3 though.

content: ...but only 4 years later it is out of stock again?I kinda prefer a HV differential probe with no low impedance contact to mains (ie it's own battery supply).Are there any known reasonable substitutes or will this ever come back into stock?- matthew

content: Yes, the company got bought out and restructued and other things and couldn't make it for a while, and now they are having component shortages. I ran out of stock somewhere in that time.They are advising mid July for production to restart.
