Same failure on 3 sets of these in 2 years see pictures
by Michael (2 out of 5 stars)

I have a Fluke 323 and these are the exact leads that it came with. I am a professional technician who uses this meter 10+ times a day, and I store the meter by wrapping the leads around the meter as shown in the picture above. then I place it in the carrying case every time. In 2 years I have been thru 3 sets of these leads. They ALL fail right where the wire goes into the plug. See second picture. If you look closely at how I wrap them. They ALWAYS tear in the INSIDE of the wrap, not the outside where you'd think they might. I do not wrap the wires tightly.
I have owned plenty of meters over the years, Fluke and otherwise, and wrapped the leads in the same way and very rarely had to replace the leads. While I love Fluke equipment overall, I will be shopping for a different set of leads for my application. Perhaps Fluke offers something more flexible than these PVC leads. I'd be willing to pay a higher price for a set of leads that will last longer than these.

Possible counterfeit. Not up to Fluke standards.
by GeekPriest (1 out of 5 stars)

The probes I received look like the ones in the photo. That is, they lack the yellow Fluke logo. "Fluke" is only embossed into the black. I ordered my set from Best Tool.

The leads are silicone, but nowhere near the quality of what I received on a set of TL71 probes from Best Tool a bit over a week ago. The twist mechanism at the tip is rough and difficult, far below the quality I've experienced in other sets of these probes.

The biggest problem, though, is that the metal tips themselves are dull and subpar. Using them with the continuity test on two separate meters yields but a scratchy sounding mess from intermittent conductivity. By comparison, the Fluke TL71 set I got previously, and the Amprobe leads included with the AM-130, are both rock-solid. Touch them, and the continuity buzzer latches good and loud.

I think these are counterfeit. They're going back.

Fluke TL71: two sets, BOTH WARPED!
by Long Beach Native (2 out of 5 stars)
March 24, 2016

Wow I am so surprised at the poor quality control of these test leads.

FIRST THE GOOD: Unlike the cheap plastic test leads that were supplied with my new Fluke 177 (which was frustrating,) these upgraded Fluke test leads have fantastic flexible wires, and they are somehow slippery so they don't want to tangle at all. Five stars on the wire.

BUT THE BAD: The first set of leads I ordered came with a perfect red lead, but the black lead was warped, slightly banana shaped. What the heck? These are supposed to be top quality. So I arranged to exchange them with Amazon, and Amazon had a new set here the very next morning. Kudos to Amazon! But when I opened them up, this time BOTH leads were warped. In opposite directions, so it's clearly not an intentional thing. And besides, I got ONE lead that was perfectly straight. See photo. Also, on one of the gray probes, the "grip ring" towards the front of the probe was sort of distorted/melted somewhat (not seen in photo.)

It just seems crazy that Fluke's quality control is so poor that they let such obvious defects get through.

I might expect this from cheap Chinese knock-offs, but these are definitely genuine Fluke - the packaging matches all of the other Fluke products, and the listing says it's provided by Fluke.

I'm at a loss of what to do at this point -- no other lead I've tried comes close to the flexibility and pleasure of these cords...but it's so annoying to pay so much money for a defective product. Do I roll the dice and try to exchange them for a THIRD set?

Great leads.
by Pete (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought the Fluke TL175 Twistguard Test Leads and they are excellent quality. I like the retractable shroud, I usually toss the shroud because it becomes a pain in the butt, but with these test leads its retractable and a very nice feature. The strain relief and silicon are the best I have ever seen on test leads. The worst part about these leads is they are pretty high resistance. I have Cat IV Flir leads and Cat II Siglent leads that come in at about half of the resistance of the Fluke leads. The cables are of the same thickness but for whatever reason the Fluke leads are higher resistance. It is still pretty low 0.05 OHM, while my Flir and Siglent leads come in at 0.028 and 0.041 but I would still rather use the Fluke because they are a great design, and I can always rel out the difference. I just wish they made really sharp pointy tips instead of the round bubble thing they got going on. I use them mainly for electronics and have no problems other then the shape of the tips occasionally. I have other gold plated test leads if they are ever needed though.

Incorrect and misleading content
by Daniel (2 out of 5 stars)
January 10, 2018

I just read again the Amazon add for these test leads. It says clearly:

Kit includes 1 mini-hook test lead set
1 mini-pincer test lead set
1 micro-hook test lead set
1 Year warranty

SureGrip accessories are designed to improve steadiness in slippery hands

Rubber overmolded surfaces and finger-hugging curves give the user a comfortable, reliable grip

DMM test leads (red, black) with safety shrouded, standard diameter banana plugs

This"kit" does not contain anything except (2) incomplete test leads with male terminals to be connected to another kit.

The leads are fine but need more accessories to work.

Perfect replacement leads
by Jason G (5 out of 5 stars)
April 3, 2017

My original leads were getting a knick in them from where I wrap them around my meter when I'm not using it. These replacements were absolutely perfect, and they work well. I will agree with some of the other reviews, the long plastic lead part has a slight curve and looks goofy. Maybe these were set aside by quality control for cheaper sale, because my original leads were nice and straight, and felt tough, whereas these feel lighter. HOWEVER, with that being said, they work just as well, and I have tested these alongside my old original leads with no differences in resistance or voltage. For the price, I'll take some slightly curved leads any day. These are perfect.

tl224 are great!
by albert truong (5 out of 5 stars)
July 25, 2019

these tl224 provide a nice versatility where my tl175's were limited. i couldnt find any large alligator clips for my tl175, so ended up switching to these tl224 with tp175 probes (same twistguard function) and ac larger alligator clips. glad i got these cuz i really needed the larger clips for working on cars.

the nice feature that these test wires also give, much like my tl175, are the zero-twist insulation. love that i can just pick these up and they kinda untwist on their own

Quality replacement probes for a Fluke 77 series-1, a nice addition to the set.
by Jim (5 out of 5 stars)
September 19, 2016

I purchased these leads to replace an old lead set I have had for years. They are going to be used with a Fluke 77 series 1, the first meter I have ever purchased back in 1984. It is still accurate and performs very well for what I use it for. The old aftermarket leads have outlived their service life, upon inspection, the old leads were brittle and dried out, they also snapped in half when flexed near the banana plugs, they were immediately destroyed and discarded for safety concerns.
These leads are the typical Fluke quality. Red and black with banana plugs at one end, with metal probes on the other end. The probes also feature a twist barrel that rotates to extend a plastic cover over most of the metal portion, leaving just a small section of metal exposed to take meter readings, a new safety feature introduced to make reading high voltages safer.
The leads are made from silicone and are very flexible when in use and comfortable taking readings. They incorporate the standard Fluke quality in their construction and the dependability one has come to expect from the manufacturer.

Excellent Test Leads from Fluke
by Ryszard Sytnik (5 out of 5 stars)
May 21, 2015

Today I receive my order from amazon.com. Fluke TL 175 Test Leads 2 mm. Wow, I'm impressed with quality, No I don't have Fluke multimeter yet because I just can afforded for now. I have Heyelec what come with leads but leads are very stiff. And I decide to replace them with Fluke. Yes I see the difference. Fluke leads much nicer and made with silicon. I hope some day I will replace my multimeter and get a Fluke 87 V. But for now I have to use what I have not what I wish to have ;-)

Perfect
by m. reuling (5 out of 5 stars)

I just wanted to keep the 5 stars going. I am using these on my fluke 337 clamp meter. They wire used on these leads is like a really soft silicon that never holds tangles or kinks. They will always fall completely straight and tangle free, unlike the stiffer leads my testers came with. I didnt realize they were threaded for the AC175 aligator clips which i also picked up and come in really handy. I didn't think i would use the adjustable probe lenght feature since i had done with out it for so many years, but i find myself using it all the time. My only minor gripe would be the length of the reinforcement at the plug-in part. It is longer than my originals and makes fitting them in my pouch a little more akward. But since my old leads failed and split at that point, i am sure these will be more durable. One more thing, they are longer than stock leads. Its not too much, but enough they are more versatile. I love these. Its like using a whole new meter.
