Q: Can I use this set with any multimeter?
A: Yes — it connects via standard banana plugs, making it compatible with most multimeters and devices that accept banana jack inputs.
Q: Why are there different current ratings for “unwound” vs “wound”?
A: When the leads are fully unwound, the entire conductor can carry higher current (rated at 10 amps). When partially wound inside the retractable housing, heat dissipation is less efficient, so the safe current rating drops (to 6 amps). This is standard practice in retractable lead designs.
Q: How do I maintain or replace attachments?
A: The test probes, alligator clips, and spring hooks are separate components, typically denoted by part numbers (e.g. 1170R, 1167R, 1173R) in Lang’s replacement catalog. You can replace worn tips individually instead of replacing the entire set.
