Pomona 3788 Bnc (F) to Minigrabber Test Clips

Great product works as it should.

I always try to buy Pomona test leads, a bit pricey but always great quality

Pomona is a quality product, unlike many unknown brands out there. I've been using them for years. Amazon won't allow me to mention the people whom I purchased this from (KDPT) but they were great.

Best quality

The Pomona 3788 BNC (F) To Minigrabber Test Clips are handy to keep around the electronic workshop. They come with quality minigrabber clips and allow the connection of BNC devices such as oscilloscopes, counters and frequency generators to devices under test. The BNC is female, so it will connect to double male BNC cables.A final comment. Some mingrabbers are of poor quality. It's hard to get them to grab on to components and stay put. This is not the case with the Pomona 3788 Minigrabber Test Clips. They work extremely well, grabbing easily and holding on as they should.

How come no one ever told me these exist. Trying to read information on a multimeter while testing a resistor or capacity usually involves touching the tester leads to the component leads while simultaneously looking at the multimeter screen, which you then notice says 0 and you look back to see that one of the tester leads has slipped away from the component, and back and forth you go hoping you actually get an honest reading. Alligator clips are often too large to fit on mounted components. But now I've discovered these mini grabbers, which fit right onto a tiny component's leads without difficulty. This plugs in via a BNC adaptor into a Pomona 1296, which then allows you to connect directly to standard tester probes or to any desired device. The mini grabbers are easy to use and are strong enough to maintain a good connection with the component leads. A new must-have for my electronics workspace.

Pretty well made minigrabber spring clips with copper (or at least they look copper connectors). I kind of wish it was a bit longer to connect the the scope, it has the right kind of connector to lock on, but I don't have any extenders for mine. Still it grips the ends of slim wires even with some pull away weight on them pretty securely. A good connection is made with wire leads soldered on test points. I have a lot of experience with theses things since I test software and embedded components, and use a lot of different connectors. This is pretty good it just needs to be a bit longer. Recommended for home or school electrical experimentation with test meters that use these connectors or O-Scopes.

I got this for my husband. Here is his review:I knew these existed but have never owned a pair. It's not an accessory sold at any hardware store that I've seen. At least a half-dozen times this year these grabbers would have came in handy. Wish I had found them sooner.Very convenient to clip on and test circuit boards and various other items.Having the ability to be hands-free while watching the multimeter display and toggling a switch is a win in my book. Never again will I have to cob together some creative way to wedge a probe in place.
