Back in the 60's and 70s, test leads were coated with a nice soft rubber, which was thick, had excellent flex, and felt good in the hands. All test leads these days are a plastic material that is thinner and does not have the flex or soft feel of those old rubber ones. These modern ones are not much diferent than plain coated wire, used to wire homes and electrical gear.
Dont they sell the rubber ones anymore, or are they only sold with high end, costly equipment?
