Hi gang,
I am looking for a source of good quality clip leads. In the day, I would
get them at Radio Shack. They were 12-18 inches long and had small
alligator style clips with plastic hoods at each end.
The last few times I have bought them (mainly at our now closed ham radio
store)
They have been ones with two fatal flaws. The plastic hoods are made of a
material that when squeezed slips and slides between the fingers making
opening the jaw of the clip almost impossible.
The other issue is worse. After a few attempts at using them the two jaws
making up the clip splay out sideways making connecting to something truly
impossible.
I don't want to waste more $$ on this type. Anyone know of a good source?
Bob-
Make your own. I think you can get better quality wire and alligator or
crocodile clips at the big wholesale houses like Allied or Newark.
