Nice you actually did put it in nautical miles! LOL, I just had to check.

Its exactly the amount of nautical mileage I needed!

These DO NOT WORK on alligators. I snapped one on its foot and POW! it slapped me upsida my head and scooted into the swamp. Duct tape works fine on geese, though. I agree with Aleksandr S. it would be nice to know the wire gauge even if it were in nautical miles.

They are really slippery when u get them, but a little dirt fixes that. :-P

I don't like these at all. The plastic around the alligator clip is very slippery, so when you are squeezing it, the clip slips round inside the plastic.

Wire gauge?

Cool! I've always wanted a pack of tern! Shows you how much I know, I always thought it was a flock of tern.

These things are absolute junk. They measure either .4 ohms or .8 ohms, depending on which lead you happen to test. Like others have said, the wire is not actually soldered to the clip. However, just from eyeing the wire, I would say that it is probably 28 AWG... very, very thin.. Yet, because the insulation is very thick, it makes you think that it's a more "heavy duty" wire. The clips themselves are VERY narrow compared to your average alligator clip, which means that they tend to rotate between your fingers when you try to squeeze them. Go to the shack, their clips are actually decent (believe it or not) and nicely priced. SF should be ashamed of selling such junk.

Would these clip onto the connections on microswitches?

Be Prepared to do the following before using these test leads: 1) Pull back the slippery covers to expose the clips 2) Inspect the clip - if the two jaws don't line up use a pliers to squeeze the rivet tighter, then re-align as needed. Mostly, this will fix this issue. 3) Apply some solder to the upper jaw's rear thumb lever - this will help the cover a lot slip less. 4) Either carefully solder the leads into the clips "as is" or disassemble, tin the lead and clip, and solder. Because these are badly assembled (hey, for $2.95 I'm NOT bitch'n here!) you really need to do this or you'll end up with too much resistance or an open circuit when you use these things! 5) Slip the cover back over the clip and check the resistance while wiggling the wires at then solder point. I've had good luck w/ these cheap-o's once I performed these upgrades.

I really like these clips, I have a few from other companies (same cost and qty) but these are the best I've tried at this price point. They are not soldered inside where the wire meets the clip which can over time break down. But I have not had this issue with this set.

tern=?(how many wires?) you seem to have a typo in the description! :)

I usually cut these in half, and use them as connector leads for home-built test equipment and modules. Very useful for testing components like speakers, or as battery leads.

How are the clips on these? I picked up some awhile ago for $3 and the clips turned out to be terrible. I literally need a pair of pliers to open the clips, and once they close, they have a very poor grip. It would be nice to get some with some quality clips on them.
