Oldaker like Freas is one of those old fashioned USA companies, housed in an ancient brickwork constructed factory, the kind where the windows have 48 panes. The quality of their stuff is amazing. Those stainless steel needle tips can be scraped hard through corrosion and it won't hurt them. The alligator clips are threaded so they won't fall off. The bed of nails has tips that don't get dull and the automotive grade positive hook and piercing tip needle will puncture 10 and eight gauge cross-link insulation, never mind hypolon and PVC.
This is one area where basic USA quality just kicks the snot out of imported stuff.
The lead ends pretty much are a standard fit. Just some are shielded and then some are angle. The meter ends have prongs that are slitted so a fine tip screwdriver can be used to spread the prongs to make the fit to the meter sockets as tight as you want.
Good test leads seem to make a $2.99 meter feel like a million bucks.
And oh yeah the leads are longer so meters don't get yanked off of bench tops.
