Oscilloscope Probes

May 01, 2008 4 Replies

What is everyone's favorite 'scope probes? We've gone through a handfull of Oldacker & Cal Test probes, both keep getting intermittent connections with the coax cable where it is crimped. Anyone had better luck with better brands?



We've looked at Tek's probes, but it seems the actual tip isn't replaceble (not the hook tip, I know you can get those).



We don't need anything over around 100MHz, X1/X10 switchable is preferred.



Thoughts? Steve


How about ProbeMaster's 4902-2, anyone have experience with that brand?

I bought nice 100mhz tek probes on ebay. they are switchable x1 x10 and I found them nice. here is their web site

In the UK you used to be able to get Coline brand probes but I think they've gone bust. Shame as these were the nicest I ever came across and had replaceable service parts for just about every bit of them.

We may just give those a shot. At that price, can't complain even if they don't last more than a year.

Thanks, Steve
