Are leads covered with high-temp insulation? One review says leads are "bare" but that makes no sense given picture.

If it says Leviton...you can't go wrong. I noticed it was overly easy to wire strip the stuff after I shortened the leads. But who cares..once the socket deteriorates the wire is going to overheat anyway. Good luck. Also...the real problem is how to reattach the socket after it is removed from the socket housing. Factory guys are using some kind of proprietary rivet. I used 1 and a half inch #6-32 brass screws instead. Then used dikes to cut them off after I double nutted them. Good Luck. ...Jeff...

Also...On those brass screws used to replace the factory rivits. One has to file them as flat as possible before installing so the mr-16 pins extend deep enough into the newly replaced socket. Only a retired guy would have figured all this out. good luck.

Yes, both plug and probe end have insulating shields. The probe end cover screws off to then look like the picture. The plug end does not, but could probably be cut off if your DMM does not allow such shields. Nice long, good gauge leads. Clips are too large for PC work, but good otherwise.

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

I really can't answer that forsure. It appears to be largely a plastic product. If there is lead I'm not sure where it would even be unless it's where the batteries go in the base of the unit. Sorry!

LED's love the cold, however the low voltage power supply should be wrapped to prevent condensation. I have these in my cold display cases.

There is nothing on the product itself to indicate if there is lead in the product (no text saying "lead free"), and I didn't keep the wrapping so I don't remember if the wrapping had information on lead. I have had no issues with the product, but I, too, have not done a lead test.

I don't remember, I didn't think this was an issues at the time of purchase so I wasn't actively looking it. Why do you think there would be lead in there to begin with?

I haven't but I am sure that if you dipped the ends of the wire into the lead it would cover the wires.

No there are not insulated, but low voltage h its the way its design. What is your concern?

We bought 6 of these and needed longer leads on 2 of them. So I cut and spliced 8' of wire on 2 of them making the leads 10' long on each. We tested the temps against the factor 4- and all 6 units were all winthin a 00.4 degree range. ( the spliced being .4 lower than the highest factory wire) It worked very good to splice them. It is important that the splices are soldered, not twisted or butt spliced

I have mine set on 460 degrees. I have found that heating up (tempering) the lead came first, before using the solder works best. Just don't touch the came it becomes VERY HOT. Hopes this helps.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

The leads are male on both ends but they have a shroud over the metal so none of it is exposed. The corresponding lead ends are female and also shrouded. Again no exposed metal. The alligator clamps slide onto the standard pointed test lead which are very sharp and will pierce most insulated wires. The hooked, clip on, leads have a strong grip.

The leads...no. My husband says why would you want them detachable they are cat 3 protected. Hope this helps

I wish I could answer this for you but I'm not sure how to tell if it is leaded or not.

I think most of the ones produced these days are lead free. I think you need to worry more about antique pieces. For the money, this looks and feels amazing. You will def be happy!

Someone in the reviews said that it is copper clad aluminum. That is the best reason for me to avoid it. Aluminium (or for us Yanks, aluminum) is the one metal that I have found impossible to solder. The most durable insulated wire is "oxygen free." That means that the bright, shiny wire is encased in plastic, and if it is copper, I can solder the stripped-off ends to make them free from oxydation as well as a much better, solid, electrical connection.
