Pros: Very very cheap!!Came in a pack with 10 units but the price is the same to by only one in a local storeWorks and the contact is not the best metal contact but works for low frequency, low voltage or simple analog application.
Cons: The plastic construction is dirty quality and "look and feel" seems fragile (actually I did not broke anyone but...). This is not really a problem since you have many other to use ;)There are no color option!
Other Thoughts: For this price why not give it a try?
Bottomline: I wrongly ordered 4 packs... Very good error, now I have enough units to test, destroy and try again many times! Very cheap enough.
Pros: These are very necessary for anyone doing electronic work. You use the hook at the end to 'catch' a point in your circuit to measure, and attach a wire to the back end of the 'thing'. The wire is best soldered, not tied or wrapped! Both the 'business' end, and the end where you solder the wire, have a solid copper finish (maybe they're 100% copper - don't know). This is very important for ease of use, as soldering to different metals may get tricky - copper works best!
Cons: They all come in a single color, and this is really a major drawback - in fact, it's downright stupid! Given the good build quality and good copper conductor inside, it's very disappointing that the manifacturer did not choose to simply mix a few colors in the bag.In fact, for the hooks to be useful, you really want to have an assortment of various color masking tapes, and 'color' them yourself with tape, to distinguish between the different probes.
Other Thoughts: Hooks are indispensable in getting circuits to work reliably, and can be expensive in single quantities. The price is great for a pack of 10.
Bottomline: Get them, and get some masking tape in various colors, and you're in business!
Pros: 1.- Very low price. Unbeatable price. Prices here, in Spain, for this kind of connectors are not related with the real cost of them. 2.- Big suplied quantity. Sure they will break after some intente use, but you have a big bach to work with.
Cons: 1.- A little bit of better built quality would be welcome, but at this level of prices anyone knows what is buying.2.- One unique color. A mix of colors or, at least, two colors will be advice for working fast and safer with them.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Recommended item.
Pros: These are indispensable when you are doing electronic experiments and want your hands free.The build quality feels good but I have not done any extensive testing.
Cons: They come in only one color - yellow. I would have prefered at least two colors so you don't mix up the wires.The hook itself is quite small so it can be hard to hook on to big things.
Other Thoughts: I use these together with my multimeter instead of testing leads to get my hands free.I would prefer a multicolor package with leads already connected to the hooks.
Bottomline: If you don't mind getting only one color you should buy these.
