- This is a video all about working with multimeters and what has helped and annoyed me in the past. Regardless of which multimeter you use, upgrading the test leads has greatly improved the work experience.

Watch the video for why I moved away from these! Thank you!
That was great! I've often wondered where I could get more flexible leads, and have always struck out. Also, that specific Fluke meter looks great for general handyman and automotive type work. Thanks for posting it. I see a couple of purchases in the very near future.
Ugh, posted a comment when this video first came out, but it looks like it may have gotten auto-filtered by YT. Probably because I recommended something on the big-A shop.
If it ended up in your "held" comment queue, there's probably 3 similar ones along with it :)
I also recommend the TL40 probe set for automotive work. They're a lot finer/sharper, which helps pierce wire insulation without leaving big gashes. On top of that, for automotive work, you can buy "backprobe" sets that are also designed for sticking into the back sides of connectors, or piercing insulation. They are also bendable for weird-to-reach spots. This allows for a lot of hands-free probing.
The posts that go into power supplies and multimeters are "banana jacks/banana plugs," and you can buy probe sets with swappable ends (banana plug to spade connector, or terminal rings). Super handy.
An additional benefit to the Silicone leads is that they don't burn/melt when touched by really hot stuff (soldering iron, maybe touching an engine).
Ugh a ugha
Yeah, Big Tech is all about “Free Speech,” Doncha know. 😯 🙄 😏
Good point about the silicone leads and hot temps!
It has probably happened to most people, re: the ‘filtering/ censoring’ Hang loose! ✌
I switched to the Fluke silicone based leads ages ago. I won’t use any others.
Not many got excited abt this video, but I really liked it!
Great review. 7:04 Hey curious, it sounds like you're saying that the Fluke leads work with your Klein? Just wanted to ask if indeed the Fluke leads work with the Klein before I buy them. Thanks!
Buy once cry once. Yes Fluke costs more but I've never regretted buying their products. I bought the Fluke 117mm and Master Accessory set (TLK-225) Years ago. Could not be more pleased. 😊
You actually have to thread them alligators on, after you push them on for the thread to engage
wow, never seen fluke with non silicone leads - def a worth while uprade to any meter!
Great video, I needed that! Got to upgrade now for sure. Its taken miltiple decades and your video to arrive to this point sadly. Im running a ancient Fluke digital think its a model 78 work gave me.
Great video. Especially helpful for those who are not electricians but want to do simple DC work in their rig.
