I explicitly do not recommend anyone to do the same.
There are:
- hazardous voltages
- dangerous currents (may cause serious burns with shorts)
- possibly exploding capacitors
- other risks yet unknown
If you still decide to follow my way, keep in mind:

Professional equipment
Professional equipment makes working easier and much more safe. I use special clips to get access to those parts of the circuitry that don't have plugs or other easy accessible points:
The upper one has got a flexible leg and little "claws":
the lower one is rigid and has got a small hook.
Both are very well insulated and rated for a maximum of 1000V.
