Micsoa Test Lead Kit Set, Multimeter Leads Probe Replaceable Needle Tips with Alligator Clip, Spade lugs, Set of 16

I needed a set of needle probes so I can get to the individual pins of 48-pin LQFP chip (an STM32F103) and traditional width probes are just too "fat".The needle probes on here are fantastic. They can get into the tightest of spaces, without short out adjacent pins, allowing me to measure voltages, waveforms and check for continuity. You get 2 pairs too, but watch out they really are needle-sharp, and just as thin so could be bent without care. Incidentally, you just screw them into the probes. You get a tiny spanner to screw them up tight, too!That's why I bought this entire set, so what else do you get?The cables, into which you can plug any of the accompanying probes, are very soft, silicon, a pleasure to use. The alligator clips are very useful too, for clamping onto robust components or power points. There are standard sized probe tips too as well as banana plug ends, useful for plugging into equipment or probes that have that connection (eg hook/clip connectors).I haven't used the spade connections. I'm guessing these could be permanently bolted to a piece of equipment that needs test points.I'm personally delighted with this set and use it a lot for my circuits and PCBs.

I recently bought this set of multimeter test leads, as I had loaned my meter to a "friend", and when the meter was returned I discovered a broken lead, which was damaged in such a way that repair would be difficult.These new leads, with all the accessories, are much better than the previous set, and more versatile.The quality is excellent and the price is good for what you get.

First class kit, well worth the cost, delvered before time.

Very nice sharp gold plated tips, exactly what i need. Cable a bit rigid and thick, but its rated at 20A...Not extreme quality, but for the price they are worthed.

Well made and versatile kit. My 25 year old Micronta DMM is very happy with these and so am I. Even the little plastic boxes containing the leads and accessories are well made! I would have preferred if they were slightly softer or more flexible but then again they are rated at a higher current than the old ones so can't really complain too much.

Very useful have used these to test smaller components and components that are in hard to reach spaces. This works really well with the AstroAI TRMS 6000

Great bit of kit. Very versatile. It seems very well made. The cables seems tangle free/very flexible and longer than the one that came with my digital multimeter.I can connect a crocodile clip to the black cable and a probe to the red - for testing auto fuses etc.

Seem good value.A bit fiddly swapping probe ends although look good quality for the price.Clips have good strong springs.Silicone cables? Hmmmm a bit plasticy but seem ok.

Le vendeur a dû tenir compte du commentaire de Bakaho (8 décembre 2017, 5*), car j'ai reçu les accessoires dans la petite boite plastique qu'il aurait souhaitée...Vraiment pratiques ces aiguilles ! J'aurais dû acheter un tel kit depuis longtemps car je râle tout le temps après les pointes de mes sondes, trop grosses et donc peu précises et, pire, qui ont plus de chances de se toucher ou de toucher quelque chose de voisin…Les pinces croco ont un ressort de rappel assez fort et des dents qui s'enchevêtrent correctement. En fait tout ce que l'on attend d'un croco.Les contacts des broches sont francs, les fils souples et solides, le corps des sondes suffisamment long et avec une butée pour les doigts, comme il se doit !Un achat que je ne regrette pas ^^

I gave these a try due to the varied supply of tips and the price. (also the original leads were extremely expensive.) My Fluke leads have a lead resistance of 0.23 ohms. These were far better. Images show results on a freshly calibrated Agilent 3458A using 4 wire kelvin setup.

I bought a really cheap set of leads with replaceable probes just like this, but you could never get an accurate reading because the screw threads are coarse and the nickel plating heavy, and that prevented them from making a reliable contact. The readings were completely unreliable. So I bought this set as they seemed the best quality. They have slightly thicker wires, which is good, but the problems with the threads not making reliable contacts persisted. The leads from my very expensive test meter gave perfect readings, so it is not the meter that is at fault.So I used my very expensive meter to try to test the resistance of these leads, and it became clear that the moment some joints are even picked up, the resistance jumps around all over the place. I tried tightening them more, only to find that the screwed metal insert in one probe had split the plastic, as the threaded hole in the plastic had not been formed properly. That was it, there was no way to repair the leads. They were as unusable as the really cheap ones were, and my money was wasted. These are not cheap leads either, they can be bought for a lot less, but I willingly paid a lot more for these, hoping that they would work.

If your like me and rely on reviews before you buy, be careful here. I was skeptical because alot of reviews said they are good for the money. Don't be deceived. These are excellent leads. A very good price. They are very good despite being cheap. I had a couple of the tips giving me erratic readings until i took them to work and cleaned off what appears to be a protective coated on the silver leads. Gave them a light sanding and readings were good Seemed like it was a coating maybe to prevent from rusting while packaged but the coating isn't conductive. Great after the sanding I'm an auto technician and i like the heavier leads. 20 amp rating Sometimes i use them to overlay a circuit. I know i shouldn't but when your flat rate sometimes you do what ya gotta do. I would definitely recommend these leads Alligator clips are good and strong. Nice thin probes for back probing the smaller connectors on these newer vehicles

I bought this set of leads to replace the test leads that broke on my old digital multimeter (DMM). Because my DMM is 15 years old, the ports that you plug the leads into are shaped a little different. In other words, these test leads conform to newer standards which my DMM does not support. As a result I could not insert the leads "all the way" into my DMM for them to make a proper connection. I probably should have just bought a new DMM. However I hate throwing things away. So to work around this problem, I followed the advice of another reviewer: I carefully cut off a few millimeters of the rubber shield. Now the leads go in all the way and they work fine. I am happy with this product.
