In Gunner's defense, they're probably every bit as good as the leads that
came on the meter to begin with, and even the Klein Tools version may
well have been made in China.

Unless you're doing HV stuff, "any-ol'" lead that fits, makes good
contact, and lasts a bit is fine. And truthfully, meter leads don't
undergo a lot of abuse unless you have an accident, so even the cheapest
leads are usually long-lasting.

I _do_ look for things like removable tip shields and proper strain
relief moldings wherever the lead enters a molding.

And I bought several sets that meet all those requirements for under
$10 canadian each.
