hard, sharp meter probes that can withstand being used to scratch components?

POE switches are a common one. can't really automate a repair shop, every board is damaged in a different way (and currently I'm doing about 50 different products), and I'm not just testing fets, I'm testing diodes, current sensors, shunts, etc.

@DC1MC: wow, those tungsten tips are pretty much exactly what I need, THANK YOU!!!!!!

Most welcome, whatever of of them you buy please post pictures and report about quality, with all the cr@p going in the industry is goo to check if the quality remains.

Cheers,

It's winter in Canada, no lightning happening for 6 months!  :P
This summer had three mild storms total, pretty much nothing.

thom:
95% of my clients are in the US, but regardless, wind itself can be enough to cause massive ground po0tejntial differences between the top oif a poorly grounded tower, and the ground. this alone is enough to blow the equipment I work on.

also, I don;'t know what part of canada you are from, but my lab had 8 days without power from a single storm this summer, we had trees blocking roads in town for even longer.

thom:
doesn't look like aluminum, but it is a very soft metal. the injection moulding is dollar store quality, shockingly terrible for such an expensive set of probes. poking a solder pad on 2 wire with the SS tips gives me about .163ohm, .104ohm with the gold pogos. for a simple guy like me, that's what I call "very nice". I imagine I'll wear the SS tips down in short order, so I'll be ordering the 1.0mm tungsten electrodes and we'll see how they work and I'll update this thread periodically
