Multimeter Question

I have 3 different multimeters. I have difficulty with all 3 when trying to check voltages on a 50 amp power pedestal. It seems as though the probes are too short. Any suggestions?
  • That is what I have been doing, but didn't know if probe extensions were available.
  • The electrical connectors in the socket in the power pole are set in far enough to be safe which is far enough to make it difficult to check with a typical probe. There isn't a good, quick way to test it. I usually wiggle my probe around until I get a reading that I think I can believe. It is a pain, but with patience, you can usually get a reading.
