Earlier versions used thinner material that tended to crack and break\u003cbr\u003e2- The tip is a little bigger than before. Even though the tip tapers to a point it is takes a steady hand to separate wires that are tightly packed together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOTES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo keep you probe working over the long hual we suggest you do the following:\u003cbr\u003e1- When this probe is piercing a wire, support its weight and do not let it hang. The long probe will act as a lever which puts excess force on the needles and delicate tip possibly damaging the probe. We suggest you securely anchor the probe to some stationary object with masking tape, rubber band, etc.\u003cbr\u003e2- This probe is spring loaded and pierces the wire on its own. Trying to force the needles into a wire could damage the probe.\u003cbr\u003e3- Do not drop it.\u003cbr\u003e4- Do not let anyone else use it!
