Typical DMM leads are actually only around 28AWG (about 20-40strand wires), they only appear larger cause they have extra thick casing.
ghos I would point you towards the external shunt resistor modded DMM’s I sell here. Note I make no money on them so I’m not just pushing for a sale, they’re very useful tools to have around for all sorts of current measurements, not just for flashlights. Also all meters shipped from this point forward will be the newest version of HF meter.
