Pros: They are sturdy and seem quite able to survive for a reasonable period.
They are low cost.
They are easy to attach to wires with a blob of solder without damage to anything.
They are nice and easy to use (not that it could ever be difficult
Cons: Maybe build quality isnt perfect.
Could be cheaper (I suppose).
Bottomline: These clips are brilliant value for money if you need to probe some connection on a board since they grip well and seem sturdy enough to last for the foreseeable future. At this price you cannot go wrong!
Useful and cheap

Pros: Thin tips for fine work. You will need to solder lead wires to the tab under the cap. Fairly easy to solder. Clips fine on devices to test. Great little tool for hobbyist.
Cons: These are not top quality, but are more than adequate for hobby use. The metal contact looks well but very fragile. Still do the job and you have a pack with 10 to learn how to solder without destroy it. All one color
Other Thoughts: It'd be nice if these hooks came in other colors.
Bottomline: If you do alot of electrical testing and prototyping you will know how useful it is to have clips like these.
Very Useful at a Great Price

Pros: These clips are extremely useful when working with electronics. The price can't be beat, either. The tabs are very easy to solder, and the construction is simple, but solid enough.
Cons: These are not top quality, but are more than adequate for hobby use.
Other Thoughts: I'd recommend these to anyone tinkering with electronics. They make great test hooks, or extensions for hard-to-reach pins.
Bottomline: Anyone, from beginner to advanced hobbyist, can benefit from having a set of these around the work table.
Excellent, real value for the money

Pros: These testing hooks are excellent. Easy to solder on wires, clips fine on devices to test.
Add these to you home built test equipment for a professional look and feel.
Cons: Considering the prices, not much negative to say. Teh build quality is not bad at all.
No idea how these clips will do in heavy use, but for hobbyist these clisp will last for years.
Other Thoughts: I have seen comparable clips for 10x the price of these clips.
Als available in yellow.
Bottomline: If you need clips, these are the best value for the money you can get.
