I like Probemaster's 8152. They are spring loaded and have a sharp needle on the end of the probe. Very Nice.
They are made in exotic, inscrutable El Cajon, California.

Take a look at the Fluke TL910 probe set. The probes include a couple of pairs of spring-loaded gold tips that have castellated ends to grab onto a component lead. The smaller diameter pair will stay on a 0.5mm pitch TQFP pin securely without slipping or bridging to adjacent pins.

I like them so much I bought a second set.

You'll find that these needle probes will put a dent into the solder on a pad, preventing rolling and shorting. I like them a lot.
