Review on Elenco TL 5 Length 36 Inch Alligator by Doug Hammett

I'll start with the same as my review of elenco banana-to-banana pins: I don't write many bad reviews. I expected a lot from them and was disappointed in almost every category. Alligator jaws are pretty good. Thanks for that. However, their isolation is terrible. It's the cheap hard china stuff you get with other manufacturers' power supplies. I don't know how long it takes for it to crack. The cross-section of the wire is unreasonably small. My 3 amp power supply can heat them up and make them a safety hazard if you have a little more power than that. The banana forks should "press" on the first fork and then release. My Pomona wires have endured hundreds of on/off cycles and are like new. Bad Elenco! you know better
