Wow, those Pomona ones look like exactly the same as what I've come up with! maybe the body of the probes are a little smaller, but looking at the datasheet it would appear they are using pretty much exactly the same 1mm (0.04") pogo pins!
I couldn't justify spending that much on a set of leads, especially with the poor reports they receive here. I'll make-do with my creations.
The drilling of the 1mm hole is indeed a bit fiddly, however a decent pillar drill and a vice will actually hold it perfectly well for the operation, the copper of the probes is less inclined to let the drill bit skip sideways.
