Quality
I read a lot about these and had high expectations, but I was still surprised how well built these are. The leads are so soft that they just stay where you put them. The tips are sharp - like sharp enough that you really need to be careful. But it makes probing tiny microcontrollers much easier and safer. This is an incredibly high-quality product well worth the money.

Very nice
These test leads are as nice as everyone says they are. Because the silicone wires are so flexible, I can predict how they will move and reduce my chances of knocking something off the table. The gold plating also dramatically improves continuity testing, and I am more confident in my readings. I do wish the handles were a little longer, which can help with reaching tight spaces. The wires also seem to attract dust statically, but they aren't sticky so i don't really mind.

Best Leads I've Ever Used
Just like the title says, I'm blown away by these leads. I have several Fluke meters and am very happy with their silicone leads. I acquired an old Simpson analog meter with the reverse banana plug connections and couldn't use my Fluke leads. Probe Master offered them and they worked great. I bought a second set to use with my bench top meter. Amazing. The silicone is somehow a bit softer and more flexible than the Fluke silicone leads. The sharpened tips on on the probe were super handy for staying put on the solder balls of different components when checking things with live power. Never knew I need that! I'll be buying more of these leads.

Best Probes for Your Meter
Most of the pobes that come with DVMs, VOMs and so forth don't work very well. The banana plugs on the instrument don't make a reliable connection. You have to.wiggle and rotate them to.get a low resistance connection. Onthe probe end the tips are not sharp enough to make a consistent connection Not so with Probmaster probes. Probemsster probes have sharp, gold-plated tips that make constant connections. The tips are strong and stay sharp. On.the other end, the connectors have proper springs and are gold-plated also: they make a good connection every time. I like the screw on feature for accessories. The slip on alligator clips that come with many probe sets are a pain. I like the screw on tip covers that expose only the tips. They help prevent your inadvertently shorting things. I only wish that th wad some texture on the outside to facilitate installation and removable. Their small diameter makes them hard to grip with your fingers. Their ultra flexible silicone wire is nice. I also like thr wide range of available accessories. I also like that there is a choice of connectors to match the inputs of various instrume ts. My new Simpson 260 Series 7 VOM shipped with Probemaster test leads.The reverse polarity shiethed connectors that Simpson adopted are hard to find. I guess I'm telegraphic my age if I admit to having two Simpson 260-5s and a Simpson 260-7. One thing these pobe sets cost more than many DVMs these days. .Probmaster products may seem expensive, but they are a pleasure to use. I don't tolerate frustration with shoddy stuff well,

Fluke 376 leads
First time trying this brand. I do think they’re better than the leads that came with my Fluke 376.

I read excellent things about Probemaster. This "kit" was all I expected/ I tested the probes and they are low resistant. Great deal for all of this

Probemaster 8000 series test lead kit
I ordered some Fluke TL175 leads at the same time i ordered these. These test with less resistance and have gold tips with a nice easy to use cover for the tips. The Flukes have neither of those. And the Fluke leads are now made in China. They're decent but these Probemaster leads are definitely better and going on the Fluke 179 while the Fluke will go on my 117.

Great Probe Set
Got a Fluke 115 recently and they came with short, hard plastic, crap probes. Spent a little more and got some nice rubbery probes that are nice and long, have great accessories and even include caps. My only gripe is they accidentally put two black caps on the probe tips instead of one red and one black. Otherwise, I'm happy, and the garbage Fluke probes go into the trash where they belong.

8000 Series Test Lead Kit
Extremely happy with these Probemaster test leads. High quality silicone and high copper wire strand count make these ultra pliable and easy to work with. Continuity testing results in instantaneous response and the resistance of the leads is the lowest that I’ve tested. Getting faster measurement times with these. Everything about them is high quality. They’ve earned a customer for life. Thank you Probemaster!
