By "Luis Vuitton" he meant Fluke.  :)

While Fluke quality may be slipping slightly on some products, I'd hardly put them in the same category as "fashion statement". Yet.

Ok, LCR warmed up, so here for shits and giggles is my no-control lead comparison. All leads including the LCR Kelvin clips were cleaned with 99.9% IPA first.

Brymen BL21:                                          0.08410Ω
Pomona 6342:                                          0.09373Ω
Keysight 34138:                                       0.02043Ω
Unknown PVC:                                          0.02052Ω
Pomona 6366:                                          0.08939Ω
RS Pro modular:                                        0.05711Ω
Very old and solder burned Fluke TL71:       0.03050Ω
Home made banana to banana:                  0.00837Ω



I do have plenty of other leads I could have included, but I'm late for beer o'clock as it is.

Just to note the reason you pay for pricey DMM leads is not longevity and quality but the fact the CAT rating and UL markings are actually less likely to be a fat lie wrapped in a shit sandwich.

Safety first. Always.

I sorted the list into order. It seems "unknown PVC" beats all big brand names except one.  :)

Edit: And only loses to that one by a 0.4% margin(!)

Curveball: Which are made by Pomona  :-DD

Doesn't bother me for the stuff I work on.

If I ever feel the need to poke at a distribution panel I'll pull out my Fluke 27 FM.
