What probes / leads will I need for this Siglent meter, power supply, and scope?

Perhaps this opinion comes from earlier days by Siglent. The sets bought by Siglent were not the best.
Meanwhile, those supplied by Siglent at DMM (at least when I look at my delivery of the DMM from the end of 2019) are good.
In comparison to the goods with roughly the same prices, which I had now tried, even very good.
No bending handles, slim seats, good cables and high-quality plugs (no scratching when plugged into the instrument).
The Probe Masters are not so much my case now. Very short handles and quite bulky guard rings.
If the Siglent are really not available I will buy a few more from Hirschmann.
Only the PL 2600 S (W) are suitable for me.
Strangely enough, they are only available in PVC and difficult to get in silicone (although there were, I had them from 10 years ago).

Can I buy them individually (without DMM ... ;)) ?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the link at first.
PS.
You also have to keep in mind that many things are only available in the USA or Asia.
This takes time and costs more shipping and maybe customs fees.

Found the leads as an accessory on the US site:

Not sure if they come with the slip on croc clips or not but I guess they would. :-//

I often use banana plug to mini-grabber cables for my DMM. Especially when using more than one meter.
You will want a selection of banana cables for both the power supply and multimeter.
These would be good to get started:

The image on the Siglent link page is out of focus.
It could be older ?!?
The ones on my SDM3055 (in December) look slightly different and there were also alligator clips (spring-loaded 2mm Lab Standard) for the tips.
(Perhaps Siglent is unable to keep its website up to date.
On some Siglent sites, firmware from 2016/2017 is still listed as current for many devices ...) ::)
The current ones on the SDM3055 look like this (I have removed the protective covers from the alligator clips,
otherwise they cannot be used (CATxxx as a hindrance as a knight's armor ...). 8)
