Seems good to me a reading under 1 ohm, good result all safe.

I would never ever use a non contact volt pen for proving anything live or Dead, a bad video gives the wrong impression for safe isolation, no mention of wether the tester was compliant with GS38 either.

Yes Pete, I noticed he said compliant leads, but he didn't say what they complied with!

That's what the meter installer used on a recent job to show me that polarity was correct (as well as a plug in socket tester that he took a picture of while plugged in - presumably that counted as his "certificate"...

He did openly admit he wasn't an electrician tbf.
