FAQ
What is the purpose of the piercing needle on the TL28A?
The needle inside the jaw allows the clip to pierce wire insulation and make contact with the conductor beneath, eliminating the need to strip wires during testing.
Can I use the TL28A outdoors in cold environments?
Yes. The silicone insulation remains flexible down to -80 °C, making these leads suitable for cold-weather automotive diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are spring-loaded alligator clips preferred for automotive testing?
Spring tension automatically grips terminals without slipping, enabling hands-free measurement on vehicle sensors and connectors even in vibrating engine compartments.
How does the built-in wire-piercing needle improve circuit access?
The needle pierces automotive wire insulation cleanly without stripping, allowing safe in-circuit voltage measurements on inaccessible bundled harnesses.
What does 12.7 mm jaw size enable in automotive diagnostics?
Large jaws grip automotive terminals, connector posts, and wire bundles securely, reducing false measurements from intermittent contact during vibration.
How do silicone-insulated leads withstand underhood temperature extremes?
Silicone maintains flexibility from -80 to +70 degrees Celsius, staying functional during cold weather start diagnostics and hot engine bay testing.
Is the TL28A suitable for current as well as voltage measurements?
Yes, the leads are rated for 10 A current measurement, enabling diagnostics of fuel pumps, fan motors, and other vehicle load testing.
Can the TL28A leads be used on both positive and negative battery circuits?
Yes, the professional-grade spring-loaded clips and silicone insulation work safely on any vehicle electrical circuit regardless of polarity.
