Fluke AC285 SureGrip Alligator Clips

as usual at Fluke .... professional quality...

These fit great on my existing fluke multimeter test leads and give me some better options for measuring in awkward positions. Pricey but they work

Makes somethings easier to test.

not clear what probes these fit (or not)

I recommend with confidence

Quality crocodile clips that free up your hands when testing electrical equipment, fit perfect on my Fluke 117.

Good quality clips at a fair price, very quick delivery direct from supplier.

I use a fluke 117, a lot of my job is fault finding in control circuits. The clips open pretty wide like they can clip small wires at like 20 gauge and then larger things like fairly big nuts. You they slide right over my original leads. Great to clip onto things while fault finding, very safe too if you’d rather watch your meter without your hands being in the panel. However, they don’t always make the most amazing connection sometimes they seem to need a slight adjustment

A bit big but it does wat it's for

Tutto ok

Great product

Pince croco à la qualité irréprochable quant aux matériaux et aux grips. Simplement elle sont de taille xxl ! (9 cm de long)

There are two major types of alligator clips for test leads. The most common type are the ones which have a rubber boot covering, and they either friction fit or screw onto the 2mm metal tip of a test lead probe. A good example of this is the Fluke AC175. This design has several significant shortcomings: First, the clip can only be opened a little ways before encountering resistance due to trying to stretch the rubber boot. Second, the object can only be accessed straight on (limited angles of attachment) due to the rubber boot. Third, the clip is on the end of the test probe. So, you have the weight of the wire and the leverage of the probe length trying to torque the clip off of it's attachment point. Fourth, the alligator clip is short which requires your fingers to be close to the attachment point (safety concern). Now, let's look at the AC285 clips. They don't have a rubber boot, so there's no constraint on opening wide. The sides are open, so you can grip an object from the side. The part where you squeeze to open the jaws is way at the back of the clip, providing additional distance from the attachment point. These clips do not go on the end of a probe with a permanently attached cable. Instead, they require the use of test leads which have banana plugs on both ends (such as the excellent Fluke TL224). To use these clips, you pull the probes (such as the excellent Fluke TP175E) off the end of the test lead and install the clip in place of the probe. This provides a very compact clip without the probe extra length. It's a modular system where you install whatever specialized end you need: probe (TP175E or TP220), alligator clip (AC285), extended alligator clips (AC220), extended hook clips (AC280), pincer grips (AC283), etc. Modular test leads are awesome, but pricy. The build quality is excellent, the teeth are sharp, the closing spring is strong for a good grip. Overall, these are exactly what I was looking for.
