Oh yeah, that's a good ideaI can't understand why everyone is so confused. Sometimes you want to do some test or another from A + B to C. For an IR test that might be L+N to E, or L1 + L2 + L3 to E or whatever, which if you have stackable test leads, you can achieve by putting one clip on each conductor and stacking / piggybacking the leads if they are stackable. It reduces the number of things that might come apart or ping off during the test, vs jumpering with separate croc clip leads. In electronics lab work, joining, branching and daisy-chaining test leads is normal so most bench test leads have a piggyback socket.
I keep a set of touchproof stackable leads and probes in the testing kit to make up whatever configuration is required. They are only for dead tests though as they are not CAT III rated.
