Banana plugs are OK but the grabbers are of poor quality. The Button easily misaligns with the body making it difficult to engage. The hook is much too flexible. I will cut off the grabbers and replace them with decent ones.

This grabber set was barely functional. It took a good 5 - 10 minutes with a set of pliers to get the spring and hook to fit together properly so that it could even extend out to grip a wire. Much of that time was spent bending the 'hook' from the straight position that it arrived in. Its not that I minded spending a bit of time fixing the product, but considering that there are so many other options within $1 or $2 of the price of these, I would recommend buying one of those that doesn't require manual adjustments before use.
Also, when the description says 'mini'grabber they mean MINI. These are probably most appropriate for 22+ gauge wire. I was expecting something more in the 12 gauge range.

These are complete junk. You can see my first edit below, when they started to bend on me, now the mini-grabber has broken off of the wire. I've had this for less than a year with light/home brewing use. These are not worth any money at all. Utter junk!
EDIT: I've used these for a while now, and I'm starting to see what Chuck was on about. These are definitely not up to the quality standard of a Pomona or other decent set. On mine the hooks of the mini grabbers are made of soft copper, and have straightened out over time, resulting in diminished "grabbing" capability. Also, I've since noticed that the connectors do not have proper strain reliefs, and as a result the wire insulation on one side of my probes has separated from the connector, exposing the conductor.
I had initially rated these 5 stars, but I'm dropping that rating to 3 as the durability over time just isn't there. They'll work for a while, but they're not timeless like a Pomona set.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I don't see what Chuck was complaining about, these worked great for me. I have several similar sets from other manufacturers and this one doesn't seem terribly different from any of those, perhaps Chuck got a defective set.
In any event as I said these worked fine for me, the stack-able banana plugs worked fine and the grabbers were easy to manipulate and grabbed leads and wires down to 24 AWG with no issues.

disposable junk
Grabber fell apart first time I used it. The plastic housing came apart and the grabber wire is made of a soft metal that bends easily. Read more

Banana plugs pop out - unusable
The banana plug ends of these leads have retractable plastic sheaths, which at first I thought was a nice touch. Read more

POOR QUALITY, BREAKS
Minigrabber test leads broke within days of use. I used them to clamp on a wire 3 times and one of the leads snapped. Poor Quality item and I do not recommend.

Horrible
Yes, they technically work - they do conduct electricity, after all. But the actual grabbers are horrible. Read more

Cheap junk
The metal clips in this test lead set are so soft they bent on the first use. I tried to save a couple of bucks and as usual it wasa mistake. Read more

Ok these are junk, that's what they are 0 stars
For 8 bucks these things are junk. They are flimsy and short and stupid to boot. Spend a little extra and buy a decent quality. Read more

Working great
Really added a lot of flexibility for both my meter and power supply. Straight probes just don't always do the job.

I would have prefered this test lead set have silicone rubber insulation instead of plastic for greater flexability but it is what it is. Read more

Work Great
I love these mini-grabber test leads. They work great and being able to clip them onto wires, a chassis, or just touch them to something for a continuity test... these work great.
