Missing the BNC adapters.
Nolan•April 11, 2017
Well, this was a waste of time and money. Sold by and shipped from Amazon, but NOT in original packaging and missing parts. The two coaxial cables were there, but not the two BNC adapters. The cables and instruction sheet was shipped in a bag along with a grey silicone looking coffee cup lid of some kind that has "Caution Contents Hot" printed on it. Was this some kind of joke?
Beware high resistance in the micro-clip cable
JMoomaw•January 2, 2014
I'm normally a Pomona fan due to their high quality, but that quality comes at a relatively high cost. Cheaper alternatives are a good thing... if they work. Cheap connecting cables and attachments that don't work properly can really sabotage results.
Visual comparisons of Cal Test with Pomona items are extremely close, but I found a big issue in electrical performance with the micro-clip cable in this set. For the stated purpose of this set the issue is perhaps not critical, but for general use the problem is not really acceptable. I have three samples of these micro-clip cables (CT3230-100) and they all exhibit the same behavior, so the problem appears to be systemic with this product. This may be constrained to a specific lot (these came from France) and not true for older for future samples. If I determine the problem has been resolved I'll update this review. I don't have an issue with the other components in this set, but I did notice there's no cost advantage buying them all in this kit. In fact, it may be cheaper to buy the same kit piecemeal.
The issue: Normal handling causes the micro-clip cable resistance to vary wildly from 2 to 2000 Ohms (measured with a Fluke 117 with the micro-clips shorted together, using the included BNC-Banana plug adapter). The cause seems to be poor internal connections where the micro-clip wires connect to the coax (under the molding.) Mild flexing, pushing and pulling on this joint will cause the shorted resistance to fly around wildly. This shouldn't happen. The lowest I could get the resistance to go was about 1 Ohm, which is still too high. The same Cal Test BNC cables shorted with quality adapters show 0.1-0.2 Ohms, which is where it should be (same as Pomona equiv.)
Workaround: Use separate micro-clip adapters on BNC cables instead of this micro-clip cable.

Good test leads
Amazon Customer•March 4, 2013
Very good quality test kit. Use it all the time with my multimeter. For the price hard to beat. Highly recommended
