[QUOTE="marantz123, post: 1117494, member: 16849"] Very handy probes, but relatively expensive for what they are, however excellent quality and durability for regular/daily use. For occasional work, a DIY option is to fashion them out of retired/expired ballpoint (spring-loaded click-type) plastic pens of decent quality (the narrower pens are better) Remove the click-lock clutch mechanism, create a "u" hook from a piece of stainless fishing wire as the hook insert, some heatshrink and solder on some suitable wire with a banana plug on the end, properly insulated and its safe to use. I made up a needle-point set of probes using ballpoint pen casings and dressmaker pins for SMD work some years ago and its stood up well and works perfectly. [/QUOTE]
