Depends on which lead set you have. There were different ones at times apparently. The AC285's are for the TL222 and TL224 test leads. The AC175's are for the TL71, 75 or 175's or the TP175's.

Are the probes one piece or modular?
You may need the modular probe kit to use those.

Not to take this thread sideways but save the frustration and buy a Probemaster kit.

Fluke leads are the one trash thing they make. Especially on the 11x line.

I pretty sure all the Fluke and Simpson meters I've used had Pomona leads. I don't know if the Fluke ones were junky but I'd look into different ones before spending that much on alligator clips.Not to take this thread sideways but save the frustration and buy a Probemaster kit.

This set claims to work with many DMM brands, and they have an extra alligator clip option:

Multimeter probes are sometimes the only thing separating you from 1000+ volts. You really gonna trust some noname Amazon multimeter leads to keep you safe? Real DMM leads like Probemasters are tested and approved to be safe.
Also, those leads are PVC jacketed, while Probemasters are silicone rubber. Huge difference in flexibility.

Myself, no. I would only use them around lower voltages.
OP didn't specify it was for this type of usage. Like you, my spidey-sense starts setting off alarms if I get up beyond 120 V household mains, and I get extremely methodical and careful with equipment selection.
And I've worked with 25 kV supplies around CRT supplies.

The Fluke family includes many brands around the world including PLS, Pomona and Amprobe.
I use Pomona and / or legit fluke leads if I need them quick. As it was stated that lead your touching to a device is the only piece of insulation between you and injury. Good leads are a requirement.

Probemaster leads are really nice, and made in the USA. I recently purchased a new Simpson 260 and it came with Probemaster leads instead of the leads Simpson has always used. I have Probemaster for my Fluke bench DMM, too.
