Electric tape is fine. Just make sure that the clips are covered completely and the tubs aren't rubbing against it.

Yeap, just wrapped up any metal part nicely and you should be safe.

I took the plastic caps off mine and wrapped with electrical tape with no ill effects, so you should be good!

You really don't need anything over them. As long as the clips are away from anything touching them.
BUT it is a wise idea to cover them to cover yourself. It's better to be safe then sorry. Electrical tape will do fine.

You really don't need covers on your electrical outlets and circuit breaker box either. :skullbone

TOTALLY different. But does your smart a** remark make you feel special? Hope so because you don't NEED to do it. Will it be helpful? Yes. Like I already said and i would recommend it.

I don't really see how it's different at all. Care to enlighten me?

It is very different. Electrical outlet's and breaker's arent exposed even without their covers. Yes, if you go digging for some loose wire or unprotected insides to the casing your going to get zapped, but even then electrical tape will do the job.

He was merely defending himself, as your post is entirely non-beneficial in any way whatsoever. You dont need to put outer body work on a car either, but for functionality and longevity, it is essential that you do have one. That doesnt mean you have to use the one standardized one.

Ultimately, I think its pretty dumb that they dont just add the caps to the price and include them with the product.

The covers are there for a reason, and it's not for functionality or longevity. It's simply not wise to leave live wires exposed anywhere in the house, especially in an area where you're going to have daily contact. I don't even know why it was mentioned as a possibility.
