I did some searching and it seems like decent kelvin probes, not clips, are a little pricey. I have all kinds of clip style but recently needed sharp probes. I can roll my own but I'm tired of having to do something else before doing what i want to do. I remember not that long ago there was a person on here that made lots of probes, who was that and is he still in business? Other ideas? The pomona brand were like $150.
Thanks

If you're referring to these specifically, it's not as easy as it looks to make them. I tried to set up some universal ones with replaceable (and varied) tips that could be manufactured, but didn't succeed. You can make one-offs using pogo pins from circuit board testers but making nice probe handles that hold those pins firmly takes some doing.

thanks, I searched around last night, didn't see that post. I ordered the first pair. I didn't look all that closely to see if the removeable tips were for sale and available on the 2nd set. At that price, I would just purchase two sets. Both are a little clunky, though.
thanks again.
