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 very flexible but strong jumpers are going to make a great addition to my electronics repair kit!

Good value

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.

I love these. I will use them from jumping thermostat terminals, to connecting power sources to devices. Can even use them to hold wires in place that are to be soldered. The alligator clips have strong springs and they open wide, as shown in my pictures. They are well insulated so there is no issue of two of them touching each other making a short. The wire is long and very supple. They can handle up t o15 amps, but I wont be testing that much current :-)

Nice to have for extra length to the leads on a tester. They are strong and flexible. The clamps hold tight. They are nice to have .

These alligator clip test wires are well made. The material used is nice quality and very pliable. The alligator clips are strong and hold well. These are very handy for all types of 12 volt setups. Highly recommend!

I have a mixed up bunch of hastily made jumper wires, so having a professionally made set is so nice!

The leads seem decently built. For automotive use I would prefer a little thicker wire being used. The leads are rated at 15amps. Of which customer states. If used diagnosing a higher load in vehicle (20-30amps). Such as a headlight, Radiator fan or heater fan circuit. The leads may be subject to a overload/melting condition. But, for general low load use they should be fine. There is a warranty on leads. But , most likely not allowing for melting for accidental overload. Pricing is decent so most will just buy another set if need arises. I would suggest a revision to listing. Stating what voltage leads can handle 15amps at(Most likely 12volts). Otherwise listing may make some assume leads can handle 15 amps all the way up to 1500volts listing mentions. I would consider leads a disposable item to buy. Not saying they are bad. But due to low cost and most damage/issues is most likely from improper use or accidental damage. The leads work as designed, Just use caution on use.

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.
