Small Kelvin clips that actually grab?
pope:
Thank you Phil,
Unfortunately your aliexpress link doesn't work.
I also found these and I'm tempted to try them out but I found 2-3 sellers but all of them without great feedback, which is weird. So, I hesitate...

I got this set of Kelvin clips to go with my DMM6500. They are made by ETA (ETA4552) and are of high quality.
The cable junctions are over moulded and the spring action of the clips is smooth without being overly strong. The clip tips are serrated reasonably well, and are thin enough to be useful in tight places (e.g. 4 leaded TO-220 precision resistors).
The banana plugs has "SENSE" and "SOURCE" moulded into it, the the sense side of the tip has a small triangle presses into it. Though I still scribbled "SEN" on the sense side of the clip to make things obvious.
Not cheap at 490 RMB (roughly 68 USD), but if you care about making 4-wire measurements with clips, I don't think it gets much better than this. I got mine through taobao ( https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40686646352 ) , so I'm not sure about availability outside of the site's service area.

Thanks for the recommendation Topquark!
In fact, I'm looking for BNC ends so I can use them with my RLC meter. I measure L of small coils like the ones shown below and it's a bitch to do it with the normal kelvin clips ;D

Well if you already have a LCR meter, then you'll need the BNC type for sure.
But playing the devil's advocate here, LCR tweezers are definitely the easiest way to go for winding transformers. Bonus points for ease of taking it to the drill press / grinder when grinding the air gap iteratively for flyback coupled inductors. ;D
