Oldaker is no more...

I stopped by my favorite electronics store to buy some more Oldaker meter probes.  Alas,  I was told that Oldaker had a fire and is no longer in business.  They were a small (7 person), family owned business that made really nice and affordable test leads.  Apparently they don't plan on restarting the business.
I've used their leads/probes for years and have never had one fail.  And the tips are damn sharp...

You might give the Fluke extendable sharp point leads a try. They are
hardened enough to not bend with use like the knock offs. They are dear
at about $44 US so I am still regretting the untimely loss of the last ones.
