The E-Z-Hook Multimeter test leads are made of heavy gauge steel. The piercing tooth is very sharp and the spring is heavy enough to pierce through wire insulation with ease. The cables are very pliable and easy to use. The standard banana clips work well in my meter. Overall if you want or need to test voltage or continuity on a wire without getting to the end of the wire or unplugging it these hooks are the way to go. You are getting what you pay for.

These are handy, for testing inline circuits without an available lead. They pierce the insulation of the wire, allowing the probes to contact the wire, and give you an accurate reading. The points are very sharp, and only require the pressure provided by the spring to function correctly. They hold securely and read accurately, leaving a tiny hole in the insulation that self-heals.The probes also have a screw terminal at the plug end, so that they can be used with non-banana-plug style meters, leaving you accessible contacts for you to connect your test leads.The banana plugs fit a little loose in my meter, but as this is a Chinese meter that has seen better days, I'm not certain that it's the product's fault; rather, I'm pretty sure it's just my meter. The connection is still adequate to get a solid reading; it's just more susceptible to jarring or getting pulled out if I stretch the leads too much.All in all, this is a must-have if you're chasing electrical issues in automotive work or trying to read voltage directly off of a sensor to determine if it's working properly.
