That's a bargain.
I'm always trying to get one but somehow I've not been lucky yet
I'm still using cheap AliExpress leads for special applications.
Anyways with the Flukes I bought last year I'm using the standard original leads they came with.
And the cheap ones I've said comes in handy for about most of the electrical jobs I have to do.
Just more a desire than a need , but once you use quality stuff is hard to come back
Same here, then amazon suggested a nice little square, had that as well

*shakes head* I'm too weak.
No idea how accurate they are yet, but I figure for that price even if they are well out they will still be good for fixturing when welding stuff up.

Join the club.
That's it. For their price, even if they end up being used for a completely different use, or as "just in case" affair, they're worth having.

Mine arrived today, quick inspection they appear good, except ai assume its a 3/8 UNF thread? Would be much more useful if they were M8.
Also while we are talking of squares above... This is a good thing to have and comes with a square. Easily worth the £30 when you need to set an accurate angle.

They are just (hopefully) matched blocks which are square and parallel and 1" by 2" by 3" with a series of tapped and clearance holes.
You can use them for spacing off parts, or bolt them together or to other things in various configurations for making jigs and fixtures or setting up for different machining operations.
Really just a handy reference and spacer dimensioned in convenient multiples which you can stack up and bolt things to as required.
