I know what he is trying to point out to you. I work out of local 3 NYC, there are thousands of members. You hear first hand stories of gear that blew up in guys faces and every other thing you can imagine. I had a UEI digital amp clamp blow up in my hand reading 480 3ph.
BUT, I have never heard of any one blowing up a wiggy or volt con, or an associated piece of equipment with one. Not saying it's an Urban Legend but I don't think it is common at all. I also just picked up a new Fluke T plus pro when they were on special at Grainger, to avoid phantom voltage readings.
