I wish I knew where to look but certainly someone on this group could help me find this VOM probe add on. It's a very small spring loaded clip that allows for hands free attachment of a standard VOM probe. The clip itself is shaped like a hook to snag a conductor. They are usually color coded red and black.
Any help on what these are called or who sells them online would be appreciated. Thanks.
Radio shaft sells a set that will slide on the tips of standard pin probes.. they have spring loaded fingers that allow you to clip onto a connection..
Above is the place you want to go, be prepare to pay! :), look down on the page, you'll find the list of all kinds of test clips.

The problem I have with clips that attach directly to test probes is that they fall off due to the weight of the probe. I would hook the probe tip to a component lead, and it would just fall off as gravity did its thing to the probe handle. It needs to be something light. So, I bought some of these "grabbers":
(4 pages) and attached the DVM probe at the end of a 6" lead. On some leads, I attached a small alligator clip. On others, a pin jack. However, attaching the pin jack directly to the "grabber" was a bad idea due to the weight of the probe handle. Don't forget some insulation at the point where the lead hits the probe.
Where to buy:
