Pomona 6341 Precision Electronic Probe Kit

The Pomona 6341 probes are excellent for probing small points on a densely packed circuit board. I purchased them because I have used them in the past and liked them. This kit is supposed to come with 10 replacement tips, as shown in the product photo. Unfortunately, the item I received does not include these replacement tips. Note that this was not a third party transaction -- it was sold by Amazon.com Services LLC.

This is a real, honest review of a product I actually paid for and have used professionally. I was NOT given the product to review and I have received nothing for this review. Oh, and by the way, I have been using these probes professionally for years. I just recently ordered a new set for a new meter I got. Every good multimeter I have has a set of these probes to go with it.These probes are an absolute MUST HAVE when working with modern SMT electronics.Be aware that these precision probes are a bit delicate, so don’t throw your standard multimeter probes away as you will still want those for some applications. You’ll also want those old clunky probes for when you loan your meter out.The good news is that the tips for these probes are replaceable. The tips are standard “pogo pins” used in bed-of-nails test fixtures, so there is a wide world of specialized pins that will work in these genius probes. Pomona also sells a nice kit of replacement tips. If you’re careful with them, the tips will last forever, but it’s good that they are replaceable if necessary.Some of the pins available for these probes are needle-sharp, so be careful.In honestly advise buying two or three sets. Once you have a set on one meter, you’ll want them on all of your meters. And, once anyone else sees these probes, they’ll want a set too.Because these probes are a bit delicate and also sharp, I highly recommend also getting a POMONA 5955 CARRYING POUCH to keep them in; it’s a very nice pouch and perfect for keeping these probes in.Because these probes are for use with microelectronics, they are expected to be used in tight places. So, they lack the large finger guards found just above the tip on most millimeter probes. While these probes have a nice gripping rubber surface, your fingers might slip down the probe and, without that guard, slide onto energized circuitry. As a result, these probes are suitable only for testing safe, extra-low-voltage circuitry.Just two more little notes: first, these probes are color-coded red and black on the ends, but the rest of the probes and cables are gray; this could be an issue in some situations where rules and regulations require that probes be fully-color-coded. And, second, these probes do have right-angle, safety-sheathed plugs. The safety-sheath can be cut off if your instrument doesn’t accommodate it, but the right angle might be a problem for connecting to some instruments requiring complete replacement of the plug.Otherwise, these probes are everything you expect from Pomona, high quality and great design. I highly recommend them.

These are amazing probes. I wish these had shipped with my bench tester - I feel cheated!The tips are sharp - very sharp. They come with covers to protect them (or you!) and when you push them into a joint, they won't slide over the solder, they will remain exactly where you put them.The wire is great, feels smooth, has that ineffable "quality wire" feel.The probes themselves are very comfy to hold. At first I thought they were too small and lightweight. Quickly I adjusted to them, and now I love them - I went back to my old probes just to see... Horrible! I am never going back again! The old probes are in the trash!I love that the spare tips include two very long tips, for testing deeply buried elements.A great test probe

These are my favorite test probes. I have used them for years at work and am glad to have a pair for home use. The sharp points are handy for probing surface mount components and other small areas. I also appreciate the thin but durable leads. Other test leads may be equally durable but are bulkier and not as compliant. My favorite tips are the pogo (spring loaded) pins but the others are handy for accessing some parts. I have heard one engineer who does not like these probes. I think he did not like the delicate tips and difficulty using these with mini-Grabbers.

Very high quality electronic probe kit, perfect for use with tightly packed circuit boards or for reaching a long way into a product design to reach for a tricky contact point. The probes come with two contact points already installed, and then there are five additional replacements, each of a different length or design. The wiring is top quality and highly flexible. The connectors work perfectly with Fluke and other standard multimeter gear. Definitely an improvement over standard probes included in multimeter kits.

These probes work with my husband's Fluke 86 and are very good for reading voltage without stripping the wire's insulation. The precision points provided allowed him to read the voltage status on surface mounted devices and worked very well with breadboard projects. The tips are easy to change out and the probes handle well for being smaller than normal meter probes. Overall, it's a good set of probes and he's pleased with them.

Working with electronics can be frustrating without the right precision tips, and this set has a nice variety to cover most situations. There are two of each type and the probes themselves, making it a complete set to pair with any multimeter. The probes aren't quite as bulletproof as I would like for the price, though the light weight and flexible cords make them easy to use. Overall, a good set for anyone working with small contact points.

very well made replacement test leads...never knew test leads had adjustable length probes....very clever design..seems I smoke the probes more than I like to admit... clumsy, too lazy to sniff out circuit and turn off breaker...these are as good or better than the leads that come with my meters... including Fluke meters..
