Has anyone try these DMM test leads?Multimeter test leads mfg by Probe Master
They look really good for the price, I have fluke(TL175) and Pomona leads and I believe these probe master are better build and quality than Fluke or Pomona brands. Any comments?

I have used the screw on tip variation but I prefer a snap on tip. The screw type are always loose.
I had a set of these U8202A Electronic Test Lead Kit | Agilent and I'm going to get another. I have something like 10 sets of different probes hanging in the wire rack but these were the most useful.

If you want something skinny and retractable Pomona/Fluke has one, Mueller also makes a nice slim and pointy model but the banana plug in not right angled.
I have personally seen a Probe Master model and it was fatter than my regular Fluke.

They look nice, but I do not like the banana plugs, they are not shielded as most of today safety standard leads. The ONLY thing that I do not like about the master probes is they look too fat...maybe it is just the pictures
Thanks, I have the Fluke TL175 and I like it, but I am looking for something slim like the TL175 but with not too much tip metal exposed (just the tip) and I do not like to put caps on the tip or twist on. Probe master look very good, but they are too fat to use them in small places and again, I do not like to use thin or long plug tips.
Here's the retractable tip from Pomona that I was talking about with only the tips exposed. This is what I have at work. I use something similar at home which I got from a local ham meet with the straight banana plug and thicker leads made by a different US maker.
Pomona P/N: 5953A
Digikey sells them for $27, not cheap but worth it. Wires are wrapped with high temperature silicone insulation. These probes are perfect for piercing PCB conformal coating as they have sharp tips.

I have been using Probe Master products for almost ten years now and highly recommend them. I first purchased from them when I bought a used HP 3468, which came without probes. I later bought other used units on eBay and purchased the probes from Probe Master again. I encourage you to buy the kit and not the leads only, as the price difference is really small.

I even bought a kit to use with my Fluke 187, even though I bought it new and the original probes are still in good condition. The attachments included in the kit are really useful.

The second to last picture on the post linked below shows the probes with the sprung hooks attached and in use. Only a very small portion of the metal hook is exposed. The probes a well guarded and suitable for measurements in crowded spaces.
