    Great Fluke Test Leads-adjustable insulators

    I have been using these test leads for over a year, and I really like them. They have adjustable insulating shrouds around the probe tips, to help prevent inadvertent shorting of conductors when taking measurements. Take a look! They only cost a few dollars more than standard test leads.

    Re: Great Fluke Test Leads-adjustable insulators

    My workplace uses these for the (more) dangerous stuff. They are great, but confusing for the people who have never seen them e.g. the engineering department. "Why have you broken this probe off!?" "Try twisting it..." "Oh... Oh OK."

      The "TwistGuard" concept it is very smart, even so I am unable to trust it, no one knows how those leads behave in dusty environments.

        Just watch out for potential fakes?

          I purchase mine from a Fluke authorized distributor, that I have used for 25 years. I believe his to be genuine Fluke. Thanks for the heads-up on the knock-offs though!
