They will NOT fit any of the several DMMs I bought them for.

Extech TL809 Electronic Test Lead Set The EXTECH test lead terminals are NOT standard banana plugs and they do not fit the banana plugs on the 5 different multimeters I've tried. . I am returning the Revain set to purchase something suitable. As other comments are mostly positive, I'm wondering if I have a defective kit? Instead of standard flexible banana plugs with multiple spring metal "fins" that make the plug part compressible (see attached picture of standard connectors that are common to

Good material but not very versatile

This set is elegant as it uses one set of wires for multiple attachments, the problem is they are NOT MESTECH COMPATIBLE.

No, these are not the typical plugs that come with most test leads, but if you remove these plugs and look into the hole, there is a tiny rubber element that prevents the test leads from making contact with the meter's contact points.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Good but not great

Pros

Carrying Case: The case provided is a very good durable case. This is a triple bag with 3 pouches sealed with very good heavy duty velcro. At least 2 pockets provide additional storage space for extra cords while still allowing the bag to close properly. Main Wires: The main wires are good, there is a nice…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Zero
