Electrical test leads
Gents,
I'm looking for some small tip electrical test probes, to be able to test hard to access terminals.
I have a fluke 116 multimeter and the tips of the test leads are quite small but after trying to take the resistance readings on a CN plug for a Daikin condenser fan motor today I found they aren't small enough.
I ended up using a paperclip to push into the CN plug to take the readings but was hoping to be able to get a set of smaller tip test probes to use with my multimeter.
The only ones I've seen are the FLUKE TL910 but they are pretty pricey at £60
Which ones do you use?

Re: Electrical test leads

Re: Electrical test leads
Forget all the fancy connectors. Strip connector (choc box), one end on the probe and either a pin or paper clip in the other. Not had it fail me yet and I can abuse and lose them and not lose any sleep.
If the boss is paying, well different story

Re: Electrical test leads
Another good idea that Andy.
If the ones I've ordered ever break I'll remember that.
