Micro IC hook clip, mini clip for IC test leads, Adapter of oscilloscope logic analyzer IC tester multimeter signal generator and IC programmer

I needed to reprogram some bios chips with a ch341 programmer (25 series on older computers), was having issues with the clip on clamps. These made a big difference. They are delicate, kind of hard to clip on, and can pop off, but once you get it, they work well. And if you are wondering, the tips are insulated so no worries about them touching each other.

These are nice for attaching to SOIC or even QFP pins. The probe end of them look like bare metal, but are insulated; I was a bit worried at first.

I bought this for an 8 pin TSSOP but it is too hard to grab the pins and as you keep trying they bend. For bigger chips it should work fine.

Worked great for me. Used them to hook onto pins of a a micro usb charge port that had quit working. Was able to charge the dead phone and transfer my info to the new phone. Can take a little finesse to get them on (and off). I had no issues with the holding power. I was expecting to have to use care when handling my setup, but they were tenacious and robust once I had them where I wanted. Was happy to find these from a US shipper.

These small grabbers work very well for small parts, you can clip onto tiny parts and these will not let go or short out to nearby pins.

I clipped them to IC chips. The pincers are super tiny and very delicate. You need support so they don’t unclip. Otherwise work fine.

clip head Hook is so tiny, it bends after few uses, and looses the ability to hook to the pin. Slight motion of the remaining rod throws out the hook from the pin. Spring mechanism which pushes the clippers is so hard, you won't push it enough even with your nails. However surprisingly enough, the hook never shorts the neighbouring pins and attaches only to the pin you intend.

This is best and smallest grabber I’ve ever seen. Works like a charm
