[Rigol] Oscilloscope ground clip leads
« on: April 06, 2015, 05:51:13 am »
Just got a Rigol DS1054Z. I really don't like the alligator clips on the ground leads.
Does anybody make leads with spring loaded hooks?

Also, are the ground clips Rigol specific or do other manufacturers use the same diameter spade attachment point?

Funny.  I said the same thing. 
I had a set of 4 cheap Chinese 100MHz probes I got for like 15 bucks off ebay that I had already replaced the alligator clips for EZHooks.  I just desoldered the alligator clips and used some good Pomona EZhooks.  Those probes use the same type of ground wire as the new DS1054Z, so I just swapped them out.  If I want alligator clips for something, I can just swap them back.
