I noticed the more professional logic analyzers have these nice spring
loaded connectors that can be pushed onto a wire or a header pin
without wearing out (much). Anyone knows where to buy these without
filling the pockets of Tek or Agilent?

Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply
indicates you are not using the right tools...

There are a couple of different varieties. One type has a "J"
hook (retractable) while the other is more like a pair of
"<" and ">" (i.e., grabs from both sides instead of just
one side).

The micrograbbers ("J") can be found (in various qualities)
for as little as $1 ea. Of course, if you need 160 of them
(plus returns) it gets a bit pricey, regardless. :<

Often, its more economical to pick up an old analyzer
"surplus", discard the electronics and just save the
cables! :-/
