making test leads for the power probe?

[goodwrench]

I have a power probe three coming. I got the one that came with the test leads. but I have a question. I am wanting to make some custom test leads. for now I just want some male and female spade connectors. I really like that huge kit that was on ebay, but it is out of the budget. so on to making some. but I need some ideas. has anybody made their on custom test leads? how did you make them? I was experimenting today and looks like bullet connectors fit the female banana pretty good? but don't have the power probe stuff yet to test. I thought if I could find a lead I could cut in half and make two male bananas, I could put bullet connectors on the other end, and the possibilities are endless.. so anybody made custom leads to connect a power probe to stuff? how did you do it?

thanks! Chris

You can buy banana plug ends. I would just save a few bucks and buy one of those kits. $65 and you will have a lifetime of connectors.

Maybe you could split it with someone else?

well bullet connectors do not fit power probe connectors. so looks like I will be ordering some wires I found on amazon that have the right banana on the end. I made some spade ended wires to test a relay, but had to use the alligator clip to hook it to the power probe. so anybody made any custom testing wires?

later!! Chris
