Abstract
An insulative caliper type pivotal mounting pivotally secures two elongate arms that at their free ends mount a pair of electrically conductive pointed contacts. Electrical conductors connected to the contacts extend through each of the insulative elongate arms and through the elastic pivotal mounting from which they exit as a coaxial cable. On the distal end of the coaxial cable is positioned a quick connect-disconnect jack adapted for mounting onto a complementary jack in an electronic test instrument. The separation between the pointed ends of the contacts is infinitely adjustable by means of a thumb screw having reversed threaded studs extending from the opposed sides of the center thereof into threaded pivotal mountings on each of the elongate arms. The dual point test probe may be infinitely adjusted, maintained in the predetermined separation and may be manually manipulatable by the single hand of a user when testing current, voltage drop, capacitance, inductance or the like between the contact points.
