Hi, is it possible to buy the shenzen-style probe hooks separately? I like them very much, but they do seem pretty fragile.
I looked online, but I could only find a few dodgy Aliexpress shops
A 20-30 replacement pack would be amazing
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!
10pcs x Universal Chip IC clamp SOP SOIC TSOP MSOP SSOP SMD IC Test Clip Socket Adapter Programmer for logic analyzer
I use previous version of those. They are pretty fine quality.
Those Aliexpress linked ones are what I use. They are perfect.

Sure, I added a bag of hooks to the shop, good idea.
Those other hooks are SDK08s 
I talked to the guy on the patent a while back trying to get a handle on who really makes them.
There’s a section in the firmware manual about various cheap probe hooks and what I found to be the best “part number” for each type.
Indeed there’s a lot of junk out there, especially on Ali. I bought hooks from Taobao from a dozen places all claiming to be “manufacturer direct” before choosing the hooks in the cable set.

I’ve also gotten a bag of the “jet plane” style hooks on eBay - made by Tektronix for less than $3 each. Keep looking. Search for “SMG50” or " SMT KlipChip Adapters"

BTW, a nice option is to sell the " Probe Cable Kit" without the probes, for those with a set of good probes.
