In industrial troubleshooting, connection stability means accuracy in the final reading. Fluke | Fluke model AC120, which falls under the category of test probes and cables (test-probes-cables), is more than just a regular clip.
These clips are designed to fit directly onto the tips of the Shielded Series 120 probes (such as STL120).
The opening of these clips features highly precise steel teeth that do not slip even on thin wires or small screws. Complete body insulation to the tip of the clip ensures user safety in hazardous environments.
If you use Fluke multimeters, this accessory is essential for performing "Hands-free" tests (without needing to hold the probe).
