Both the Pico and Autonerdz secondary leads have a ground lead attached with circuitry that will redirect secondary voltage to ground in the event of secondary insulation failure. This will destroy the lead, but hopefully save the scope and PC. I would strongly suggest that any other brand of secondary test lead you might use offers the same protection.

Excellent point!

Not sure if your experiencing the same as me but the reason I stopped buying Pico leads is because they keep getting spiked for some reason and keep dying, think I have draw full of them
