Whats the heaviest oscilloscope probe you know of?

Pack the probe in the original shipping containers. Original materials are
available through any Agilent office. Or, use the following guidelines:
• Wrap the probe in antistatic plastic to reduce the possibility of damage
caused by electrostatic discharge.
For probes weighing less than 54 kg (120 lb), use a double-walled, corrugated
cardboard carton of 159 kg (350 lb) test strength.

• The carton must be large enough to allow approximately 7 cm (3 inches) on
all sides of the probe for packing material, and strong enough to accommodate
the weight of the probe.
• Surround the equipment with approximately 7 cm (3 inches) of packing material,
to protect the probe and prevent it from moving in the carton. If packing
foam is not available, the best alternative is S.D-240 Air Cap™ from
Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like a
plastic sheet filled with air bubbles. Use the pink (antistatic) Air Cap™ to
reduce static electricity. Wrapping the probe several times in this material
will protect the probe and prevent it from moving in the carton.



I want to see the probes weighing over 120 lbs  8)

What would you even use those for? Directly probing a 1MW generator or something?
