Parrot clips arrived. A bit of a handmade product, you can see where they have been glued and hand filed to fit the case. I don't mind.
A few quality control issues:
- Maybe 60% of them are smooth to actuate, the other 40% have some binding, will try to grease them
- One had the wrong color handle (green instead of black)
- One was dirty
Other criticism:
- Can do without the clamshell package and printed card, just throw them in a bag with no instructions is fine with me.
- Banana jack on the W2 seems good. But the ergonomics with banana plug is not great, blocks your finger at some angles. The Pomona ergonomics are better.
- Plunger arm seems like it could be 2-3mm shorter, it doesn't need to be as long as it is. This may or may not be an issue with use.
- Heatshrink is white with writing on it, OK, but could look better if it was plain black and red though? minor thing. Here you can compare:
Pros:
- Grabbing ability definitely better, less likely to slide off due to the sharp metal beak
- They can also fit into tighter spot than the Pomona, tip width:
- W2 2.4mm
- W3 3.6mm
- Pomona 4.6mm
