Was recommended these by youtuber Paul "
learnelectronics" and totally love them.
Thanks for the awesome product and being made in the USA!

Love them! Super sharp contacts, the screw on accessories are fantastic, the cables are quality, and the probes are very comfortable to hold and work with. Not to mention having so many options for cable length. Now I can bring the probes to the work, instead of the other way around.

These are the 'reverse bananna' leads for my simpson 260 Series 7 VOM. Fit into the meter seems okay but a little loose it seems. Probably just the mature of the internal plug design Simpson has, but need to keep watch to make sure the connection remains reliable over time. Remainder of the leads and accessories are rather excellent!

These leads are awesome. I look forward using these leads in my shop daily

Fantastic set to test leads, work well on my Fluke meter

As always Great quality. Softer flexible ens are great for the hands and silicone insulation removes much of the fight in the leads. Less tangles , less hassles. Love them.

This was my first set of ProbeMaster test leads. I saw them recommended on the Eevblog and was surprised how affordable they were compared to Fluke/Ponoma leads. I was even more surprised when they arrived and I found that they were nicer than any fluke leads I have used. The wires are ridiculously soft and flexible. I seriously don't know how they can manage that with a cat iv lead. It's phenomenal. The probes are excellent too. They are a flexible rubber/silicone for basically the whole handle so they are really comfortable to hold and you can bend them somewhat to get into tight spaces. The tips are needle sharp and "stick" well to pads and components so they don't slip off during measuring. The accessories seem to be of good quality but it's the leads/probes themselves that really shine. I immediately ordered several other products after these based on how nice they are. The customer service is also second to none. I had a question about a bnc probe and was able to get a real person immediately (no annoying phone tree) who was knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint is that this set does not come with full tip covers. The set that it comes with are the cat iv shields and they (obviously) leave the tips exposed. I added a set to my next order (they are super inexpensive, like $1.50), but it would be nice if they were included or shown prominently as an available accessory on the page.

These are seriously amazing. Pomona? Agilent? Seriously, you'll throw those in a box, forever relegated to back up duty.

The main benefits I enjoy:
-- The gold-plated tips. They just conduct so much better. You can tell quite quickly if you set your multimeter to continuity mode and tap the probes together. The reaction times drop significantly.
-- Also, the style of strain relief these use is very great. It is very soft and flexible, and begins lower on the probe than the several other models I've used. Combined with the extremely flexible silicone wires, it makes them so easy to use in tight places or unusual angles--or even in general. Until I began using these, I never realized how much effort I was putting into positioning the wires to get the tips in place to obtain a proper measurement. These literally follow your hands, regardless of the weird angle you're holding them at or the position of the wires.
--Finally, the multitude of tips is great. Prior to getting these, I had a couple of different probes I'd use when I needed tips like micrograbbers, or alligator clips. It's nice having them all in one set.
(Although, admittedly, if you're frequently switching, it can be helpful to have different leads handy with those already installed. However, if you use probes in that manner, then you already know this.) Anyway, the fact that these offer 4 different tip choices without even having to buy anything extra is really nice! And yes, the attachements are also gold pated.

I would end this review by saying that, at the price, these are the best probes you can get. However, that is inaccurate. The truth is, that at any price, these are premium probles. I mean, it's just the quality! Like... I legit feel fancy when I pull these out.

Anyway, if you use your multimeter often at all, you need to try these out. And if you just need extra or replacement probes, stop looking around and order these now. You will, seriously, not regret it.

(P.S. Re-reading this, I realize I sound unreasonably excited about a set of multimeter probes. Surely, I'm not alone in getting excited about new tools...right?!)

(P.P.S. To Probe Master: You are, seriously, the best. I don't have even close to unlimited money to spend on needed tools, and the fact that you provide such a great product while simultaneously helping out us guys on a budget is so very amazing. :) Thank you!)

The nicest probes I've ever used. Thank you!

An exceptional set of test leads. The leads are supple so standing coils are not an issue. The "grabber" hooks are the best I've ever used. The hooks stay fastened, but release easily. All in all, a very well thought out set of leads.

I have been using multimeters for several decades, and have never had a set of leads that is better than these. Wire is very flexible, connectors and fittings are excellent. Cheaper than other US made leads but are at least as good. Highest recommendation.

I'm an absolute gear nut when it comes to my work tools and diagnostics equipment, I only want the best. I was dissatisfied with the standard fare "F brand" leads because, albeit the reliable quality, you could only buy 48" and the accessory options were pretty lackluster. Got a recommendation to try ProbeMaster and I can easily say I'll be buying test accessories from them from now on.

First off, the quality is outstanding... high quality silicon, everything is gold plated, and small details like an insulating nub on the tip of retractable banana plugs to prevent contact when the sheath is extended... really set this stuff apart.

Secondly, the customization is the best on the market. Wont go into that because you can see all of the options yourself. The fact you can screw them on is just another hallmark of how they take it to the next level.

Specifically regarding the 8000-series probes, I love the flexible handles more than I thought I would... the pictures don't do it justice. Extremely ergonomic and allow measurements to be taken in tight dimensions. It also reduces strain on the lead, which is where I have seen most probe/leads wear and break down. The accessories are comprehensive and it's great to know I can get easily get replacements. I got the 36" length which I feel is perfect for having full arm's reach without a bunch of extra length to manage.

Honestly I'm pretty meticulous about the functionality and design of the gear I use, and I can't think of anything that could be done better here.
