Probe Master Test Leads - Made in USA ?
In the past five years Probe Master this give away test leads for product reviews.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
Some American citizens they do buy them, and the cycle of profitability for the maker, this goes well.
But Probe Master, this totally skipped the root of product certifications.
Since this is American production, they do skip UL, this is for compliance of imported goods.
But they also skipped, electrical certifications CAT, and European Union EN and CE certifications
And while they doing all that, there is neither any printing over the cable sleeve?
In summary,
This fancy product design for hobbyists in the USA, this does not qualify be officially exported and imported overseas.
Simple as that ...

As far I remember, at ITTSB Europe in the period 2012~ 2018, this reviewed 80% of branded High-End HH DMM.
And Kiriako's never spotted a single case with poor quality of test leads.
Probe Master?
I think that they served as alternative test leads source, for ancient HP analog meters, AVOmeter and similar gear of 80s.
By the addition of a shrouded banana, they think that their product this when modernized enough for use at HH DMM.
They using today, unbranded wires at 18 AWG, and this is not any special choice.
From my own point of view, I do not see a product solution with any added innovation.
Kiriako's has an excellent article, actual testing of Gold plated test leads ;)
