What is everyone's favorite 'scope probes? We've gone through a
handfull of Oldacker & Cal Test probes, both keep getting intermittent
connections with the coax cable where it is crimped. Anyone had
better luck with better brands?
We've looked at Tek's probes, but it seems the actual tip isn't
replaceble (not the hook tip, I know you can get those).
We don't need anything over around 100MHz, X1/X10 switchable is
preferred.
Thoughts?

How about ProbeMaster's 4902-2, anyone have experience with that
brand?

We may just give those a shot. At that price, can't complain even if
they don't last more than a year.
Thanks,

In the UK you used to be able to get Coline brand probes but I think
they've gone bust. Shame as these were the nicest I ever came across and
had replaceable service parts for just about every bit of them.
