content: I recommend you buy them from digikey or mouser or try to find deals on well known manufacturers or lots.the only half decent chinese brand I found was Uni-T. They are kinda decent, but you need to make sure you are not getting the super stiff PVC ones (but at least they did not skimp on conductors for me).I think my uni-t banana to banana were uni-t brand all silicone, but I on another continent right now from my lab.Anything else you are liable to get literarly magnetic wire thats like a 1 ohm per meter or more,

content: I was actually unsatisifed with my uni-t probes, because they were stiff insulation, but the banana to banana were nimble wire, but the resistance was low with all of them as it should be with probes or test cables.

content: You want to be careful with those banana plugs with the side screw. You can get a pretty severe shock under the wrong conditions.I don't make stackable jumpers, I buy them. Pomona is well represented at DigiKey.Buy them twice as long and cut in half if you want to attach probes. It's nice that the plug itself is molded with no exposed metal on the body.I don't know of any particular eBay sellers. I did buy a few of these and they seem ok.https://www.ebay.com/itm/School-Physics-Lab-Multimeter-4mm-Banana-Plug-Probe-Test-Cable-1m-Pair-LW/182341004961
