I wouldn't trust a probe in 2kV range, where the ground cable is isolated just with a thin layer of shrink tubing, as seen on the picture in eleshop.

For mains I use a properly isolated Stäubli Isoprobe III with fixed 1:10, which has CAT III 1000 V + CAT IV 600 V rating. They have a separate ground cable with clip, also with its own CAT rating. These probes come in a wide variety, also with higher voltages and 1:100. But this safety has its price:
