I'm not sure. I have found the smaller probes to be much more controllable.

Please stop using capitols for the first letter of all your words. It makes it a bit difficult to read.

Much better thank you. Yes the TL175s are much larger and are useful leads IMHO. I will be saying much more about them when I do my test lead shootout video. I will say that the TL175 leads will not be my favorite.

Actually I have very big hands. I don't dislike the TL175s, they are just not my favorite.

I have large hands and I don't have any problem using the TL175 leads. They are long enough to feel good in my hand and I like the built-in option to have a sleeve over the tip for using in tight spaces.  The safety collar to keep your fingers from sliding down is a smaller diameter than some of the other probes I have but this also helps to get the probe into tight spaces. 

My only complaint is that the probe tips are not needle sharp but I use a set of Pomonas to pierce insulation or get in really tight places when I have to.
