Has anyone got recommendations for quality replacement miniature croc-clips for the ground leads off a Keysight 3000X scope, specifically a N2862B probe?

The original ones look to have a nice angular nose to more easily get in places, rather than the rounded bulbous ones I see on Farnell. Also on the original ones the narrower jaw seems to fit within the slightly wider opposing one when closed rather than the teeth biting against one another.

The original spares kit maybe N2856A with the leads N2857A.

I'd also consider full ground leads, but I'm aware the shank diameter of probes can be different such that ground leads aren't interchangeable.

Thanks.

Did you ever find a clip that would fit nicely, seems a better option than buying all the replacement parts when its so easy to swap with the correct part, thanks!

They are a fairly generic 5mm probe, so plenty of options.

I don't understand why alligator clips are still standard on scope probes. I generally replace mine with mini-hooks.
