I wouldn't trust those, especially not for the $10 savings. Some of the reviews mentioned the springs failing, or the grabbers being too soft metal to properly hold things.

Hi there,
Did anyone try the PCB Assembly service of JLCPCB for oz2cpu's design ?
Maybe someone as working BOM and CPL files ?

Well I'm proud to join the team of oz2cpu's design probe owners ! 8)
I ended up ordering on JLCPCB with PCB assembly (single side). Boards arrived with half the 120R resistor soldered on the scope board (upper side) and the 86K6 and 120R soldered on the pod boards :
Soldering the missing 120R resistors and the 8p2 caps stacked on top of the 86K6 resistors was not a simple task for me, as it was my first time doing SMD stuff :scared:
I ended up doing it with solder paste and an hot-air gun (couldn't make a clean work on 0603 parts with a soldering iron...) :phew:
Everything works as expected (tested with an ESP32 board providing approx. 10Mhz output) ;D :

In case someone needs it, here are the BOM and pick and place files I used.

Did anyone ever take a look inside the Siglent probe?
I think I wouldn't mind having a go at modifying the design a little to match the Siglent with the way the probes attach, maybe using some 2.54mm rectangular header sockets.

If you go back and start searching with our inputs (like #72 or earlier then onto #138) we posted a version of Thomas's that included the ability to mimic the responses that the OEM Probe produces after modeling the probe with Rob's help. Our version worked well from the start with both twisted-pair ribbon cable and simple ribbon cable (didn't have any micro-coax) that we never followed up on optimizing the probe & cables.
This might be a good start if one wants to squeeze the most out of these probes.
Best,
