I can tell you that the Megger ones and the Kewtech ones do the same although mine are a little more audacious and will jump off whenever they feel like it, not just when I'm not looking at them 
I'm off to Florida in the morning
I'll bring back a croc and lash cable to it and next time when i test with my megger it will not fall off then .
The troubleis how the hell do you get that up a ladder.

They run differently.
One runs in straight lines well and the other zig zags well.
Something to remember if you get chased by one.

I use these to clip onto recalcitrant bus bars and clip on to the end with my test lead, nulled ofc. They are used for shorting between L and E etc. when doing R1/R2 usually but double as a solution to hard to clip on parts at the DB.

More accurately described as crock slips, the insulation on my factory ones is discoloured from all the harsh language it's endured.
I bought some of those Kewtech clips, crocs, alli's or whatever. They seem to provide a highly increased resistance to the circuit on test, which fluctuates and no amount of filing can improve. Found them so unreliable, I binned 'em. Is yow's ok?

Yes they are I get 0.01 ohm on them. And the grip is good as well as the tips of the croc can get to places the kewtech standard crocs can't.

Interesting thread .......... my Metrel ones are ok and I've had a few sets over the last 9 years ..........
Especially trying to clamp it on copper pipes. I phoned the nice people at Kewtech, who sent a replacement in the post.
Wrap an elastic band around the jaws of the clip so that it pulls tighter and does not slip off so easily.
too sensible.
.however, here's a tip.if you want to ensure good IR readings on a circuit, use wooden clothes pegs instead.

That is exactly what I ended up doing with my megger clips, I think it's a standard thing with new clips not to actually clip to anything useful.

Me too, the Metrel crocs are solidly made with a good tight spring. Not had one break yet, but lost one of them. Lead set is 6 years old now and doing ok.
oh dear.
Have a good look lads before they get taken down by the fun police

Lol, not likely. It's a mannequin. Only like walking past Debenham's window.
