Good value general purpose cable

I bought these to use with a desktop power supply. While not as good as the sluggish silicone insulated cables I have, they are a fraction of the cost and are fine for general use. I bought them ready made as the price is about the same as if I made them myself. The wire appears to be stranded about 20 gauge (0.8mm diameter) so I wouldn't use it for high current. My power supplies put out a maximum of 5 amps, so there is no problem with this cable. The alligator clips are medium sized and…

Pros
  • Banana to Alligator Test Lead Set
Cons
  • -

I've researched many cables and this one helped me. While I don't need ALL the features, they're worth it; accuracy compared to a much more expensive friends' cable is just perfect. One end meets the other and the connections are strong.As-A-mom seems to want to explain in great detail why someone likes or dislikes this cable;this is hard.This is a GOOD cable -as described -quick delivery by very warm people I've met never had to do before. Everything was automatic and by the book but that's…

Pros
  • 36" cable length

elenco no quality on circuit tester

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

Pros
  • These two pins are marked red and black, one each
Cons
  • Some little things

This is great quality for the price!

I've used A LOT of this type of equipment over the past 30+ years and it's one of the best deals I've found for the price. Sure, I wish they were a little longer, but what can you expect? They have a nice strong formed wire and connector assembly (as shown in the picture) and they used very good quality wire that looks like at least 18 gauge wire with good flexibility. Alligator clips are of high quality and should last a long time if not abused. I suspect they will be used primarily as a test…

Pros
  • Keep these handy leads handy for your next electronics project
Cons
  • Faulty
