I think I'm more impressed by the silicone test probes they are selling for under $7. I'd love to know if they are any good and hold up to their CAT rating.

:o That is interesting indeed, especially when they actually are ~70mOhm as they very obviously show on one of the pictures.

I bought some of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252361778216

I was so impressed I bought some more after they arrived.

Ordering one now! :D I do not own a Fluke, but they seem to be a pretty good match for my Gossen Metrawatt Metrahit One.

When those oddly-cheap "Fluke TL71" probes started appearing I bought a set from eBay to see what they were like.  The black one had a serious defect, it looked as if the tip had been chopped off with cutters.  The material the probe handles are made of feels oddly soft and "plastic-y" compared to a much older pair I have that came with a Fluke 289.  The wires and plugs seem okay.  The wire insulation is a bit slicker and less rubbery than the old set, but it does not melt with a 300C iron.  The new set and the old set measure 62 and 65 mOhms, respectively, so I have no reason to suspect the copper and the connections.  But the tips are definitely nothing special.

Does Fluke have anything to do with the manufacturing of these leads, or did the Chinese just start counterfeiting them?  I don't know.  But test leads labeled "Fluke" are all a bit suspect nowadays in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing the measurement results.

About a week ago I measure one pair of $9.58 Fluke TL71 chinese test leads with XJW-01.
25 mOhm each with kelvin clips directly applied.
