Hi,
I've come across an unexpected problem. I've started to use the newer slimline wago 221 connectors, and when I came to do my continuity tests I found my kewtech test probes are too short to reach all the way inside the test port on the connectors. My KT63 is getting on a bit and I believe the test probes have 2mm tips.

Am I right in saying the newer Kewtech probes have 4mm tips ?

Does anyone else have any suggestions for probes that comply with GS38 and will be ok for a Kewtech KT63 and have the reach for these Wago connectors. I know I've seen some with removable shrouds but I don't know if they are GS38 compliant.
 
Even my megger ones won't fit into the wago connectors, I have a set with very fine probes that have shrouds I bought from Maplins years ago that fit a treat. They are available out there, I would try RS or similar first!
