Works great, insulation is a bit slippery

These clamps work great but as others have said the insulation has no support so the clamps twist sideways when you squeeze them together. Simply add a drop of silicone or ritonavir to the inside of the insulation and seal after drying so the insulation will hold enough to eliminate the problem.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Frequency

Good stuff at the right price.

These terminals are as good as any I have ever used and I have been involved with electronics and electrical engineering for over 50 years. The plastic covers on these things are always a bit slippery. This makes it easier to put on and take off to connect cables. Complaining about it is useless. The selection is good and the price is right!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • -

Great Choice - Hand & Power Tools

Good choice from a wide range of clamps. Usually small but comfortable. 4 nice large charging clips, 4 medium sized clips which I also use for charging, and then many larger and smaller alligator clips, some with "hardened" lead ends. I would only buy it again because of the big ones, and I would also take the small ones.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Expensive

Very weak I don't think totally useless

Large clips have a very weak closing spring and one of them just fell apart as soon as I tried to use it. The rivet popped out, but the end was not bent at all. Being a die-hard wrench, I spent about 10 minutes trying to put it back on, then smashed the end of the rivet with a flathead screwdriver. So far I'm winning, but they're still cheap and I know they'll continue to fall apart. - Remove this star because they specifically advertise 'Strong Jaw for Maximum Hold' hahaha what a joke!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Best value clips

Lots of clips for little money. I see complaints that the insulation is very slippery. Yes, it is true. Very slippery. A little annoying. No doubt. However, this is the only real negative I see. They have tons of clips to make your own jumpers or fix those stupid Power Probe pins. For $7 (that's what I paid anyway) you can do a lot here. Also, you have a great storage box that breaks on the first hit. Not to mention the latches that keep the case closed, it's mostly just decorative after theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • Crumpled

Terrible quality, I can only assume the 5 star reviewers either never used decent alligator clips or were pushed to give a good review. The problem lies in the connection between such thin brackets and such rubber shells. smooth and poor quality that the clip just unwinds from your pinch to open the clip. I tried very hard to find a way to detach the shell with one hand, but I had to either hold it or remove the sheath from the clip, attach the clip and replace the sheath as a jacket, makingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • faded

Terrible quality, I can only assume the 5 star reviewers either never used decent alligator clips or were pushed to give a good rating. The problem is the connection between the clips, which are so flimsy, and the rubber sheaths, which are so smooth and of poor quality that the clip simply twists away from your pinch to open the clip.

Pros
  • Package Dimensions: 1.0L x 1.0H x 1.0W (inches)
Cons
  • Something else

When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was that the plastic box was sticking out at the top. so many clips it was crowded for the size of the box. First thing I did was remove the 4 largest staples, then the rest was organized and fit just right. In terms of quality, of course, they are not industrial. But for light to moderate use or for hobby use, they are solid enough and fully functional. Plastic lids are fine if you haven't used them better. But if you're used to gumming up Fluke

Pros
  • Made in China
Cons
  • Sparse instructions

weak misaligned jaws weak hinge rivets needs repair before use

Some of my gears came with crappy alligator clips so I bought them to fix them repair. But these were worse when they were new. These clips are made of flimsy metal and the rivets are poorly formed so they don't hold well so the clips just want to fall apart. I had to solder the rivets on the outside to prevent them from failing the first time. If you snap something in as intended, the thin metal deforms immediately, if you snap it in on one side, the clips twist so that the rivet pops outโ€ฆ
