New Product: Premium Test Leads

As part of our continuing efforts to expand our range of test accessories, we have now released coloured test leads, BNC to 4 mm (banana), to make it easier to distinguish where your connections are when testing components on the vehicle. The blue lead has a fixed ground cable that works with the common ground system of the scope to provide a reliable ground connection at all times. The remaining coloured leads all have detachable ground cables to give more room when testing. The four leads are available individually or as a set.
