When you're comparing test leads, probes, and fixtures, the probe is what actually touches the circuit. For general-purpose repair, audio work, and microcontroller debugging, a 100MHz passive probe with 1X/10X switching is the standard companion. The decision problem here is that the four kits look similar on paper: all are 100MHz clip-probe sets with 120cm cables, yet the prices run from $12.49 to $29.99. You're really choosing between two-probe and four-probe setups, and between JINHAO-labeled pairs and a lower-priced P6100-style kit with extra accessories.
Quick take
For two channels, the first JINHAO kit is the balanced pick. For four channels or a spare pair, the four-probe JINHAO set is the straightforward choice. For the lowest spend, the kit with the most included accessories is the value pick. The second JINHAO kit spells out its package contents in the description.

Decision matrix
- Two channels, JINHAO name: Choose the first JINHAO 2-Probe Kit.
- Same setup, package contents spelled out: Choose the second JINHAO 2-Probe Kit with alligator clip.
- Lowest spend and extra accessories: Choose the lowest-priced two-probe kit.
- Four channels or backup pair: Choose the four-probe JINHAO set.
Product notes
First JINHAO 2-Probe Kit
The first JINHAO two-probe kit is the balanced choice if you want a JINHAO pair for a dual-channel bench setup. The description lists a compensation range of 15 to 45 pF, a useful spec when your scope's input capacitance falls in that band. The limitation is that this kit includes only two probes; if you have a four-channel scope or want spares, the four-probe set is the step up. For a two-channel lab, this kit sits at a middle price without overloading you with accessories.
Second JINHAO 2-Probe Kit
The second JINHAO kit's described retail package spells out the mini alligator clip and ground lead. If you like knowing the clip is included before you order, this version makes that detail explicit. It still gives you two probes. The limitation is that this duplicates the first JINHAO kit's probe count, so it doesn't change your cost per probe. For a four-channel scope, you'd still move up to the four-probe set rather than buying another pair later.
Y.E.201 2-Probe Kit
The Y.E.201 kit is the lowest-priced option in the group and the one that lists the most accessories in the retail package: a screwdriver, six marker bands, and two tip sleeves along with the two probes. The listed specifications align with the other sets. The limitation is that this is a two-probe kit, so for a four-channel scope you'll need a second pair; at that point, the four-probe set is the simpler route. If you only need two probes, this kit gives you the lowest entry price.
JINHAO 4-Probe Set
The JINHAO four-probe set is the only kit here with four probes. It arrives as two identical packages, which is the easiest way to populate a four-channel scope or keep a spare pair in the drawer. The limitation is the price: it's the most expensive option, so if you only need two channels, you're paying for two extra probes you won't use immediately.
Final recommendation by use case
For a dual-channel bench setup with a JINHAO pair, choose the first JINHAO 2-Probe Kit. If you want the clip and ground lead spelled out in the package details, the second JINHAO 2-Probe Kit is the equivalent pick. For a lowest-priced starter kit, choose the kit with the extra accessories. And for a four-channel scope or a spare-pair drawer, the four-probe JINHAO set is the complete answer.
