Well I was grounding my gun to the top of the rack, and the bottom of the rack is grounded to the earth ground. How could I use a multimeter or something to test if I have good ground? I remember reading a method but I can't remember where it was...but I always make sure my hooks and rack are ground down enough to expose bare metal for good ground....not to mention at my clamp is ground too.
