content: I've been happy with several "Sumnacon" silicone leads from Amazon. Here's a set of alligator clip leads and a set of mini hook leads for $9:-https://www.amazon.com/Sumnacon-Multimeter-Test-Lead-Set/dp/B07F8R3VG9However I personally prefer this style of alligator clip:-https://www.amazon.com/Sumnacon-Multimeter-Crocodile-Alligator-Stackable/dp/B073ZVJDCFBut then you're pushing the cost into the double digits

content: The KAIWEETS KET01 lead set is surprisingly good for the money. They give you the option of probes, small croc clips and thinner wire mini-grabbers. The probes seem to make decent contact and total lead resistance is around 100mR. They are available separately on Amazon.co.uk but so far, I've only found them bundled with other stuff on Amazon.com...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Multimeter-KAIWEETS%C2%AE-Alligator-Mini-Hooks-Voltmeter/dp/B07SD3L9HR/
