Pros: Excellent Quality
Each Lead Has A great grip
Works as a replacement for (Simpson, Fluke, & fieldpeice).
I would recommend these leads to EVERYONE!!!
Cons: they only come with male end connectors, certain simpson meters require female connectors.
Other Thoughts: I'm a teacher and we use these for class every day. I know first hand that these leads are extremely well built. I am going to purchase another 50 with next year's budget, before the price changes or they go out of stock.
Bottomline: Cheap Price, Great Quality, pretty much universal. I would make these leads out to be the best leads I have Purchased since I bought the meters.
Nice strong leads

Pros: How can you go wrong on these test-leads. They are well build, nice big grip's. Long and thick cables. They can handle 1000Volts (manufacturer rated)
Cons: The plug is made out of some bendable plastic, you need to get it in shape to plug it in your multimeter. No further con's, i don't know why there would be more? :)
Bottomline: The brand is called ''Victor®''. I don't know if it's a real brand but it looks like one ;) You should really buy this if you need proffessional testing leads. 1.2M is long enough for all task! Did i mentioned the thick test-leads ?? yes! Buy it :D
Look great but lasted less than a week

Pros: Look great and appear to be solid and well made. I recommended these leads in a previous review and have written this review so as not to mislead potential customers
Cons: The wire is very very thin and the apparently robust leads are 90% plastic. They fell apart after less than a week of use as the plastic insulation fractured near the leads. I had bought two pairs and having such poor performance from the first pair was super careful with the second set.They were no better and fell apart in no time.
Other Thoughts: They look great but are the worst product I have ever bought on Deal Extreme so bad that I was prompted to rewrite this review. My sincere apologies to all those that I may have misled in my original review.
Bottomline: Junk - Don't be tempted. They look great but are not fit for purpose
Better than any stock leads

Pros: These are great leads. Far, far, better than the ones that come with any multi. The covers for the tips and connectors is a nice touch. They have a nice heft in the hand and makes taking measurements very easy. The tips are very very pointy (which is a good thing), so be careful.
Cons: There are really no cons. They weren't free? These didn't fit in my "slim" multimeter, but it's a cheap one. They do, however, fit in most standard multimeters.
Bottomline: If you're buying any multimeter here on DX, get these, you'll be happy you did.
