What the manufacturer publishes
Universal compatibility with almost all instruments having 4 mm (0.16 in) sockets. Insulated 4 mm (0.16 in) angled banana plugs, stated as offering maximum safety. Plugs 18 mm (0.71 in) long and 4 mm (0.16 in) in diameter, described as ideal for accurate measurement. A 120 cm (47.2 in) length.
The rating that is not here
Leads carry their own measurement category and voltage. It is printed on the lead body, and it should be in the listing, and it is not — on this set or on either of the other two European sets here. The American sets on this shelf mostly do publish one, which is what makes the omission a choice. That matters because the safety rating of an instrument-plus-leads combination is the lower of the two, so unrated leads quietly downgrade a properly rated meter.
Check what is printed on the leads when they arrive, and follow the instructions supplied with your instrument.
What actually fails
The insulation, at the strain relief where the cable leaves the plug. Inspect the whole length before every use on a live circuit — leads are the cheapest part of the kit and the one that fails first.
Availability
No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.
Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.
What gets asked here
Do test leads have their own safety rating?
Yes, and it is the point most people miss. Leads carry a category and voltage of their own, and the rating of a meter plus leads is the lower of the two. Fitting unrated leads to a CAT III meter gives you a CAT III meter with unrated leads.
What rating do these have?
None is published in this listing. Several sets on this shelf do publish one — three Klein sets state CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V — so the absence here is a choice of this listing rather than a convention of the trade. Read what is printed on the leads themselves and follow the instructions supplied with your instrument.
Why angled plugs?
A right-angled plug is harder to pull sideways out of the socket, and it keeps the cable from standing proud where it can be caught.
The longest lead on this shelf and the cheapest published CAT III rating here, at ten dollars.
Stated rating
CAT III 1000 V 20 A, stated twice on the page. At $9.99 that makes it the CHEAPEST published CAT III rating on this shelf — a third of the Fluke, which names no category, and half the Klein pairs, which reach CAT IV. This shelf's introduction makes the stated rating the first comparison, and the three European sets on this shelf publish none
Insulation
SILICONE, stated, "soft insulation remains flexible and helps reduce tangling during use". No temperature figures are given — the Eiranoly is the only product on this shelf that publishes an operating range. Silicone is the material this shelf's introduction prefers, against PVC that stiffens and cracks in cold
Length
49 inches, 125 cm, stated — the LONGEST single lead on this shelf. The published PeakTech is 120 cm (47.2 in), the Klein 69410,104 cm, the Bionso 109 cm (42.9 in) and the two other Klein sets 91 cm (35.8 in). Only the Klein 69483 reaches further, and only by screwing a three-foot extender onto a three-foot lead
Plugs and tips
Standard 4 mm (0.16 in) banana jacks, with GOLD-PLATED sharp probe tips built into the leads. The kit adds two extended 2 mm (0.08 in) needle probes and two non-destructive PIERCING PROBES with 0.7 mm (0.03 in) needle tips, which push through insulation to read a conductor without stripping it. Four protective caps. The plugs are not described as shrouded
Supplied
Two 49-inch leads with built-in probes, two piercing probes with 4 mm (0.16 in) banana jacks, two 2 mm (0.08 in) extended needle probes, two alligator clips, four caps and a transparent case — ten pieces for $9.99. 180 grams. Stated to fit "most digital multimeters including Fluke, AstroAI, and Klein"
Also stated
The listing's first bullet carries a stray closing quotation mark, and the kit's name appears three different ways across the page ("meter leads", "multimeter leads kit", "replacement multimeter probes"). The specification itself is consistent: 49 inches, CAT III 1000 V, 20 A, silicone, 0.7 mm (0.03 in) piercing needles, 2 mm (0.08 in) needle probes

A hundred and twenty-five centimeters, the longest here
CAT III 1000 V 20 A for ten dollars
No CAT IV, where the three Klein sets reach it
Best for: Reaching into a vehicle or a cabinet from a meter on the floor, and probing wires without stripping them
Five tip sizes, two hooks, two back probes and a wrench to swap them — and not a single rating figure on the page.
Stated rating
NO CATEGORY AND NO VOLTAGE PUBLISHED. Twenty-five pieces, $29.99, five bullets of specification, and not one figure for category, voltage or current. It is one of five sets on this shelf that publish no category at all, with the Fluke TL175, the AUTOOL kit, the KAIWEETS set and the PeakTech pair. This shelf's introduction makes stated ratings the first of its five comparisons, and the published PeakTech fiche on this shelf says a rating should be in the listing
Insulation
SILICONE, "cold and high temperature resistant, very soft, more flexible use", double insulated, with "100 high-purity copper wire" — a phrase that is presumably meant to read 100 per cent. No temperature figures and no gauge. Silicone is the material this shelf's introduction prefers over PVC
Plugs and tips
REPLACEABLE gold-plated probes in five sizes: four at 1.0 mm (0.04 in), two at 2.0 mm (0.08 in), two 3.8 mm (0.15 in) banana plug probes and two 0.7 mm (0.03 in) back probe pins, plus two test HOOKS that clip onto a component leg and stay there. Two TIP SHROUDS are included — cover for the exposed metal, which only the Fluke otherwise addresses on this shelf, and here as a separate part rather than an adjustable sleeve
Length
43 inches, 109 cm, for the two leads. Mid-length on this shelf: under the PUKAIBUL's 125 cm (49.2 in) and the published PeakTech's 120 cm (47.2 in), over the Klein 69410's 104 cm (40.9 in)
Supplied
Two 43-inch leads, two handles, four 1.0 mm (0.04 in) probes, two 2.0 mm (0.08 in) probes, two 3.8 mm (0.15 in) banana plug probes, two 0.7 mm (0.03 in) back probe pins, two alligator clips, two tip shrouds, ONE WRENCH, two test hooks and two storage boxes. Twenty-five pieces. The wrench is the only tool supplied with anything on this shelf, and it exists because threaded tips have to be nipped up rather than finger-tight. 210 grams
Also stated
A three-month refund and a two-year warranty, both stated. Bionso claims the kit "works perfectly with any multimeter, clamp meter or test instrument", which is a compatibility claim and not a rating. Compared with the published AUTOOL set on this shelf, which runs to 68 pieces, this is the smaller of the two big kits

Five tip sizes from 0.7 to 3.8 millimeters
A wrench, so the threaded tips can actually be tightened
No category, no voltage, no current — anywhere
Best for: Electronics and bench work where the test point changes every ten minutes and the voltages are low
The cheapest set on this shelf, the only one that publishes a temperature range — and the only CAT II leads with a 1000 V figure beside it.
Stated rating
CAT II 1000 V, 20 A, stated. That is the point to read carefully, because the buying tip on the multimeter shelf of this site puts it exactly: the category and the voltage are one specification, not two, and the higher-looking number is not the safer tool. CAT II 1000 V is a LOWER category than the CAT III 1000 V of the PUKAIBUL at $9.99 and the CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V of the three Klein sets — and fitting these to a CAT III meter gives you, per this shelf's introduction, a CAT II pairing
Insulation
DOUBLE-INSULATED SILICONE, with the only OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE published anywhere on this shelf: −58 °F to +392 °F, −50 °C to +200 °C (392 °F). This shelf's introduction compares silicone against PVC for cold flexibility and no other listing here puts a number on it — the Fluke says "remain flexible in cold temperatures" without one
Length
40.5 inches, 103 cm, stated. Mid-length for this shelf: shorter than the PUKAIBUL's 125 cm (49.2 in) and the published PeakTech's 120 cm (47.2 in), a centimeter under the Klein 69410's 104 cm (40.9 in), longer than the 91 cm (35.8 in) of the two other Klein sets
Plugs and tips
Gold-plated ULTRA-SHARP probes, stated to pierce wire insulation or reach a solder joint on a dense board, and "a universal 4.2mm (0.17 in)(0.16inch) banana plug". Two figures that do not agree: 0.16 inch is 4.06 mm (0.16 in), and the standard every other listing on this shelf names is 4 mm (0.16 in). A plug genuinely 4.2 mm (0.17 in) across would be a tight fit in a 4 mm (0.16 in) socket; the likeliest reading is that this is a standard 4 mm (0.16 in) plug described loosely
Supplied
One red lead, one black lead, one red clip, one black clip and FOUR probe safety covers — two more than needed, and the listing explains why: "customers have reported that they are easily lost, so we've included 2 extra probe covers". That is the only listing on this shelf that changed its contents because of what buyers said. 77 grams, the lightest set on this shelf
Also stated
Compatible with "almost all mainstream brands of multimeters and clamp meters such as Fluke, AstroAI, INNOVA, Klein Tools". Stated to be tangle-resistant and stretch-resistant. At $6.79 it is the cheapest item on this shelf

The most expensive reel here, and its title is the entire published specification.
Published content
The title, and nothing else. This listing carries NO bullet points and no description — four facts in total: the brand, the ChalkRite line, Mini, and UltraThin. Every other reel on this shelf publishes between four and eight bullets
Stated dimension or range
NOT PUBLISHED. No line length appears, where seven of the nine reels on this shelf state 30, 100 or 150 ft. "Mini" suggests a short line and does not say how short
Functions
NO GEAR RATIO. This shelf's introduction calls a geared rewind the whole ergonomic argument of this family, and Tajima publishes ratios on its other reels — the Jam Free model on this site states five gears. This one states nothing
Also stated
"UltraThin" is the one word on the page about the line, and on this shelf it is the interesting one: this shelf's introduction says a thinner line lays a crisper mark and a thicker one carries more chalk, and that NOT ONE maker here publishes a line diameter. UltraThin names the trade without measuring it
Material
Not published. No body material, no sealing organ, no hook arrangement and no chalk is stated
Reference and mounting
Reference CR802SFB. Tajima is an established Japanese layout-tool maker and the ChalkRite range is its chalk line family, so there is a real product behind the four words — which is the reason to ask rather than to dismiss

Fourteen feet on four sections and the thickest wall on the shelf — on a page that cannot agree with itself about the graduation.
Body and fittings
FOUR telescopic sections reaching 14 ft and collapsing to 51 in. Four sections for fourteen feet is the best length-per-joint ratio on this shelf — three and a half feet per section — against five sections for nine feet on another AdirPro here. Each joint is a creep point, so fewer is stiffer
Material
1 mm (0.04 in) thick, ± 0.05 mm (0.002 in), stated. It is the THICKEST published wall on this shelf — the only other figure given is 0.8 mm (0.03 in) — and on a 14 ft rod extended to its limit, wall thickness is what stops the top section bowing under its own weight
Scale
The TITLE says "10th Foot Graduations". The fourth bullet says "dual graduations of an engineer's scale feet/eights on the front and standard feet/inches on the back". Tenths and eighths are not the same scale and they are not interchangeable: an engineer's level is set out in tenths, and reading an eighths rod against it means converting every figure. Settle this on the order page
Stated dimension or range
14 ft extended, 51 in folded — both published, which only two rods on this shelf manage
Measuring mode
A bubble level, stated, and a rectangular section stated to ensure easy handling and flush alignment with flat surfaces. A special measuring scale on the back for overall height reading is stated without being explained
Supplied
A durable soft carrying bag with an adjustable shoulder strap. No spare lock button, unlike the maker's own 9 ft rod on this shelf, and nothing is published about the locking buttons at all
