WGGE 5PCS Dual Ended Alligator Clips Test Leads Set, 15A Test Lead Wire Cable with Insulators Clips, Heavy Duty Cable with Protective Jack Copper Clamps for Electrical Testing 5 Colors 3.3 ft/1m

These alligator clips are very nice. I like that they are multi color so you can easily tell what is connected to what if you are connecting a lot of things. They handle a lot of power and amps so there is no need to get clips with large or smaller capacity for testing all electronics. The alligator ends grip well. The plastic is rubbery and has a nice feel to it. These feel like they will last a long time. Great product.

Having spent 25 years repairing electronics professionally, I have a large selection of test leads in different sizes for different uses. For higher current needs, these are some of the nicest test leads I’ve seen. The newer soft PVC insulation coupled with the copper wire design make the wire extremely pliable and easy to work with. The copper wire is what years ago was called ‘soft-flex,’ a very high strand count of very thin strands of soft copper wire. The alligator clips are non-magnetic with the exception of the spring and pivot pin. Scratching some of the plating off reveals the copper core. The springs are strong and the clip insulation is well designed to reduce the chance of it “snapping” out of the fingers while in the process of being attached.

Being an engineer, Ive worked with a ton of test leads from Fluke, Brymen, Pomona, and Probemaster, so I know what quality leads feel like and what cheap leads feel like. I also do a lot of DIY auto repair and its often handy during troubleshooting to have spare jumper leads around. I picked these up in the vine program because they seemed a lot nicer than the cheap alligator leads Im currently using. In fact, I like these leads so much that Im ordering a second set to have a dirty set for automotive work and a clean set for electronics bench work.

I have several different sets of alligator test leads already, but all of them are for low-voltage, low-current circuits. When I have tried to push them into higher-power applications, they invariably heat up and are unsuitable.

These are decent quality alligator cables that have strong gripping jaws. I normally get smaller red and black alligators and appreciate getting 5 colors and the higher current capacity. These are great in my electronics lab for hooking up a multitude of larger devices. Recommended!

I like to use these when testing audio equipment. They allow you to quickly get power to a device with no cutting or stripping of wires. I also like that they are all different colors - very easy to trace from source to destination.

My old clips from 20yrs ago were finally dying as the insulation had starting to crack and some of the wires had been spliced over the years. I went looking for some new clips and these looked like a nice upgrade for my old set. First off I really like the 5 different colors, my old ones just had colored electrical tape to differentiate them. The insulation also feels heaver and more supple, so I think these leads use a very fine stranded heavy-gauge copper covered in a thick rubbery insulation.

For the occasional project use, these should be ideal. The ends are fairly insulated as far as fingers, but leave aa fair amount of clip exposed so they cant really be used in close quarters with each other. The springs are pretty strong and the teeth on the clips are fairly sharp.

I like these little test leads. You can never have too many. These are a little on the heavy side so they come unclipped to small things. They work well for sturdy electric items though and are flexible and well made. I like the big handles on the grips since I can use them with gloves. These are good for HVAC work.
