Dead testing with Amy the Spark 

A whole hour of dead testing and form filling in part two of our three-part series. Yes, it is as exciting as it sounds. This follows our unboxing video. Before you comment though, a ranty disclaimer if you will:
It’s important to recognise this video for what it is, and what it is is simply two house-bashers shooting the breeze familiarising themselves with the TIS MFT-Eco tester while undertaking the everyday tests used out in the world.
What this video is not:
A classroom teaching aid.
A definitive testing guide.
Guaranteed correct, complete and error-free.
Devoid of gutter utterances.
A way to improve your sexual prowess.
Yes, it’s long, it’s boring and it contains colourful language, but that’s because it’s informal - it was just Amy and me on the day recording our procedures, thoughts and observations off-script while we rattled through testing as the camera rolled and with a really crappy microphone setup that'll set your teeth on edge. Anyone expecting more or different is advised to look at the Sparky Ninja, e5, John Ward and eFixx channels, among others, for better informed and classroom-friendlier content.
For those who say “I wanted my son/daughter to see this video but you ruined it with your bad language”, rest assured that if your son/daughter is old enough to understand electrical testing then they’ve probably already forgotten more rude words than you’ll ever know. If your son/daughter is getting into the trades, they won’t last long if salty speech sends them sobbing to their safe space. If the presentation of this video isn’t for you, then it isn’t for you. Nobody ever guaranteed otherwise.
I’m sorry to sound so defensive, but you literally can’t put anything on the likes of RU-vid without someone moaning about it not meeting their specific expectations like I was supposed to have them personally in mind while making it. Videos like this really attract the whining pricks too as they want the information but are never happy about how it’s handed over. Here’s an idea for anyone who doesn’t like it: go read the books and do your own research; you don't need us to lay it on a plate for you.

Erratum:
A typo on my Excel schedule of test results: the IR column should show MΩ as the units, not Ω.
