Small Kelvin clips that actually grab?

Most larger clips are pretty good in this respect. But the small ones for some reason are all very smooth.

I've tried generics from China (see pic below), and domestic-branded ones. No difference. Except price...

Does anyone know of a small Kelvin clip that actually has usable teeth?

Why all the wires with these clips?  What is the wiring strategy?

That's what I used. My hamhandedness requires that I keep it handy...

That particular set was for an HP 4328A. Using multiple wires to lower the inductance allowed me to use a longer lead length than they specified. I have a similar setup that I use for HP 4800A. But it's not a 4-wire setup.

Yes, I like it. Fixed 1kHz, so not useful for capacitor ESR, though...

Not as cool as the 4328A but for that there is this...
