Multimeter Test Leads

This item is a set of multimeter test leads, essential accessories used with digital or analog multimeters for measuring electrical quantities. The set consists of two main cables, one red and one black, signifying positive and negative polarities, respectively. Each cable is made of insulated wire, likely PVC or silicone, providing flexibility and electrical resistance. The cables are coiled and secured with a black cable tie in the image, indicating they are either new or have been neatly stored. At one end of each cable, there is a probe with a sharp, pointed metal tip, typically made of brass or stainless steel, designed for accurate contact with electrical points. These probe handles are molded plastic, with the red handle having a ridged texture for better grip and the black handle appearing smooth. The sharp points suggest they are standard test probes, not alligator clips or other specialized connectors. The other end of the cables, though not fully visible, would typically terminate in banana plugs, which are inserted into the multimeter's input jacks. The overall condition appears new or very lightly used, with no visible signs of wear, fraying, or damage to the insulation or probes. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks or identifying stamps on the visible parts, suggesting they could be generic or a standard offering bundled with a multimeter. Given their appearance, they are likely modern production.
