TKDMR 1000V 20A Ultra-Sharp Multimeter Meter Tester Needle Point 35″ / 90 cm Gold-Plated Test Probe Lead

Great set, work well

Nice set of leads at a very nice price. No complaints at all.

The first thing to note is that I bought these for an older Mars multimeter, the kind that mechanics might use. I got one of these second hand for free; it's a great multimeter with an oleophobic grip case, but it had no leads and a dead battery. So I ordered these leads. Initially, I was dismayed that they didn't fit, but I've been hanging onto them for boths. The issue was the plastic sleeve around the banana clips; they were too close for the mars connector which requires a wider-set but thinner protective sleeve. Today, I want back to revisit and realized I could just cut off the thin outer sleeve with a box opener style razor knife and the banana plugs fit in there nice and tight, like a champ. So, if you have an older multimeter and the plastic sleeve is in the way, just carefully cut it off and you'll be in business.

I love these. I bought these because they have very sharp tips. My original set was much thicker which made it very difficult when working on small circuits. With these new ones it is so much easier to keep the probe tip on what I want to measure, and off of adjacent things. I have also been able to take measurements by poking the tip right through the wire insulation. This has really saved me lots of time. I was also very surprised when I was measuring resistance, these test leads have less resistance than my original set has. My only concern with this product is that because the tips are very thin, I worry they may be subseptable to bending. Because of this, I will be purchasing a second set to keep as a spare.

These are excellent for working with microelectronics and also useful where piercing the insulation of a copper wire is necessary for troubleshooting. The probes come with protective caps for the very sharp tips and dust caps for the meter connections. Alligator clip adapters allow one or both of the probes to be connected to large wires or terminals which is very useful. The probe tips have a recessed collar that allows micrograbber test clips to be securely attached to the probe tip which can be useful in some tests. The probe wire insulation is silicone and looks to be of high quality. For most people, these will not be the everyday meter probes to use as they are needle-sharp. But they are very useful when working on surface mounted components.

Worked great from the box.

I broke one of the probe on my old Cen-Tech multi meter, and could not find a replacement locally. Although the listing for this item does not specify that it would fit my brand of multi meter, it fit and functions perfectly and the price was excellent. I received this item one day after I had placed the order. I would buy from this seller atain.

Mine arrived in an undamaged box with the protective caps on, but with blunted tips. Nothing "ultra-sharp" about them. A knife-sharpening stone made them serviceable at the cost of a little material. Damaged product aside, here are my thoughts: Pro: - After sharpening the damaged tips they are still better suited for micro SMD component measurements than your standard set of probes. I've been using the micro-probe extensions that fit over standard probes, and these are a hair more precise. Cons: - Quality control. - The metal is extremely soft. If you apply any amount of pressure at all, expect your tips to blunt fairly quickly. Other notes: - The plastic is hard. At this price point that's to be expected - this is just an FYI for anyone hoping for softer grips. - The PVC cables are stiffer than I'd hoped, but if want less stiffness you need to go with silicon. It's not bad, but not great. Fair for the price. For the price of a cheap lunch you get a set of probes with tips that make measuring micro SMD components a little easier. Mine came damaged, but I more or less sorted the problem out myself. Not an awful buy, but I don't expect them to last. They're ok'ish.

Broke first use
