You're certainly right about that. I wouldn't touch any kind of test equipment that doesn't include the pods (unless someone gives it to me). It generally cost more to buy the pods than it costs for a complete unit including, pods, manuals and accessories. FWIW when I go scrounging I make it a point to look through all the scrap wire bins for any probes, pods, etc. They make good trading material even if I don't need them.
