make sure you get stainless steel ball tipped, dont get anything thats plated or straight tipped. With probe sets you get what you pay for. Many of the less expensive sets are plated. I have heard of the ball tip breaking off on the cheaper probes. You cannot tell by looking, but I suspect that the ball tip is soldered or braised on with the cheap probes, rather then the probe being turned from a single piece of metal.
