Very poor quality. I bought 2 sets of these. The tip broke off of one of them on the very first attempt to use it. Waste of money.

So far these seem to be a quality pair of piercing probes.

Got these to replace my Pomona's that I accidentally melted and they're great for almost half the price. So far they have been working flawlessly.

These piercing clips are surprisingly thick and well made.They have handy spring clips that clip firmly on the wire, then spinning the cap drives the needle into the wire.Once clipped and pierced, everything is solid. Standard 4mm banana jacks slide right in the end.The are also made for plastic shielded test probe jacks, they slide right in there too.I wouldn't change a thing, these are perfect. Good design.I have to say one thing though. Another reviewer complained these were rated too low voltage for him. That he can't use them on house wiring or over 60v DC.You can. But DON'T. This is a low low voltage solution where there isn't any other way to probe the wire. Like a mystery bundle in the middle of a trailer. Or looking at a failed alarm install. Even then, you should fix the hole with sealant or tape after.Don't poke holes in high voltage wires. It's a terrible idea for many reasons.OK, that said, these work really well for those situations where you have to poke a low voltage wire to see if it's missing ground, or lost voltage. :)

I like these piercing probes!Build quality is good - they are made from a rugged plastic and the spring mechanism on the cable release feels smooth and strong. The piercing tip is hard steel and doesn't flex or move around easily. The screw mechanism is smooth and the rigid plastic makes it easy to spin them but they don't easily come undone when tightened fully, either. The shrouded banana plugs sockets are PERFECT and fit all standard 4mm test leads firmly with ZERO wiggle room. I tested with Fluke leads and was impressed.The only real nitpick I have about these single-conductor piercing probes is the low voltage rating. You can' t use them on house wiring (30VAC max rating) so are limited to cabling that you KNOW is at or below this limit. Similarly, the DC limit is low (60VDC max rating) so anything around telephone-line voltages is about your maximum limit, although this is a perfect use case and exactly why I wanted these probes.Recommended as an inexpensive, low-voltage piercing probe set!

These piercers were relatively inexpensive. They fit and work well for their purpose.

Used one of these to replace the trigger action 'pin' on my LED Keeper to check Christmas lights. Original pin would easily bend and/or not go through the aged insulation of the lights. It was easy to open the device and modify the unit with a wire that would go into one of these clips. Makes a reliable connection every time and simply screws the pin into the insulation. Very efficient.

I bought these with low expectations because they are so affordable. They ended up far exceeding my expectations for quality, fit and finish. I would be willing to bet that these are on par or better than their name brand counterparts. The quality of this product is not a fluke, but better in my opinion.

Great product haven't had an issue yet Works amazing for small and tight spaces for checking wiring especially for someone that has big hands and hard to get into a lot of places this helps a lot

It looks, works, and is a robust product for repeated use. This device performs three moving actions, each of which must work perfectly to accomplish the piercing and securely hold on to the conductor wire. The longer length can be useful in automotive electrical work in tight, difficult-to-reach situations.
