From: inet@intellisys.net (brian whatcott) ".. The grasp is
very good, and the point available for probing is excellent - could
penetrate insulation at a pinch. This seems like a nicely executed
design Brian Whatcott Altus OK"

garyb@scs-corp.com "...I received 2 similar evaluation packets, one
from a local rep and one from Bucharest. We have put the probes to
work in the shop. So far, everyone who has used the probes has liked
them. I think the concept is very good..."

(Paul Marxhausen), University of Nebraska - Lincoln "I also got an
evaluation pack of the Parrot clips, and found them to be a handy
little addition to my bench, for all the reasons an earlier poster
mentioned"
Subject: Another Parrot Clip Evaluation
From: tomb@lsid.hp.com (Tom Bruhns) Organization Hewlett Packard
Corvallis Site "I asked for one of the evaluation packages, and received
it very promptly. Overall, I like these Parrot clips quite a lot.
I think they will be my default probes for my meter from here on out,
though I may make some safety mods as suggested above."

From: reinhard.zwirner@t-online.de (Reinhard Zwirner) "Hi,
After having received the PARROT CLIP samples at the beginning of
November, 1997, I gave them for evaluation to the Service Department
of the company where I'm employed. All the technicians liked to work
with them, especially with the thin (2 mm) type, though the banana
plugs could be a little more solid. My test results: same judgement.
Fine invention!"

From: sam@stdavids.picker.com (Sam Goldwasser) "Nice gadget.
I installed the ground clip on a scope probe - much better than the
stupid alligator clips provided."

From: Tom Bruhns tom_bruhns@agilent.com Organization: Agilent
Technologies "I like the ability to probe and clip with the same leads.
The design makes it easy to probe reasonably small points, even leads
on 1.27mm-pitch SOIC packages, at least with the smaller probe"
