I recently purchased Probe Master test leads to replace the cheap leads I was using with my Keithley 175. I couldn't decide between the 8000 and 9000 series, so I bought both to compare and review. When Kaiweets asked about us reviewing their soldering iron, I asked them to send some test leads too, so I could include them here. I then asked six other test lead manufacturers if they wanted to send loaners for inclusion in this comparison. None were interested, so I've just included what I have.

Test leads in this comparison are:

• Probe Master 8043S Test Lead Kit - $38
• Probe Master 9104 Electronic Deluxe Test Lead Kit - $115
• Fluke TL75 Hard Point Test Lead Set - $35 ($30 at Amazon)
• Fluke AC175 Alligator Clip Set - $45 ($27 at Amazon)
• Kaiweets KET11 Multimeter Test Leads Set - $20 (with coupon)
• Kaiweets KET05 Multimeter Test Leads Kit - $39 (with coupon) ($35 at Amazon)
• Circuit Specialists 68-0850 - $1.95 (but shipping is high)
• Elenco TL-12 - $9
• Southwire leads (included with meter)
• Harbor Freight/Mastech Leads (included with meter)
• Harbor Freight free-with-coupon leads (included with multimeter)
• Fluke T+Pro probes (included with voltage tester)
