Where can I find replacement leads?

While I was looking at the viability of different "cheap meter" tiers for a guide, I took a look at a few I had on hand (not many) in borderline price brackets, but one of my test meters (Kobalt DMP-32) the leads broke after a few years of use with it. I tested a set from my Fluke meter and it was fine, so I know the leads are bad and the meter itself is fine (except for losing a screw post).

Where can I find the original leads, or at least similar to the FC135 leads? Lowes does not sell them, it appears Lowes does not sell them. Photo here:

Hi @nick

This supplier has a selection of leads with different plug types that may be of interest. Scroll down to find ones that may suit. Check their datasheet to verify

So I opened it to check the other posts being one broke and that’s never good. All remaining 3 are on the way out so I’ll just borrow some leads from another meter until it falls open.

Are the posts that plug into the meter shrouded or exposed? That's been the biggest factor I've run into when looking for replacement leads. Can you add a picture of the other end of the leads?

I know where they are but it uses the same fully shrouded cables my other meters use. However the screw posts are failing and I don’t know if I want to buy leads for a failing meter.
