Otherwise I'll order the Brymen ones.If you're rich I got Agilent U1272A for sale (With probes and thermocouple!)
I'd like to extend the life of my existing meter by getting a new set of gold-plated Brymen test probe leads and continue to use them with the Uni-T meter.

I'd recommend doing what I did: Buy genuine Fluke test leads (I chose the TL175) from amazon.com (USA) and have them shipped here. Yeah, they're not the cheapest, but they're fantastic quality. Just order some other stuff (like solder wire and solder wick) at the same time to make the shipping worthwhile. I can make some recommendations on the other stuff if you like.
New around here?
That eBay seller is actually a member on this forum, and has an excellent track record. All of their products are definitely genuine, and the support is excellent.Those probes are very nice too; a set of them came with my BM257s from that seller.

Please forgive me for not knowing every seller on eBay; I hear there are several.
4 mm banana plugs are more or less universal as far as I know, all of them should work. The only problem could be the safety shroud that might not fit or be too long, but I doubt that will be a problem too.

Especially when it comes to things like soldering irons (if you had posted this in a Hakko thread, you would be bang on). There are few exceptions to eBay, but this would be one. Apologize if I came off a bit coarse.
