I've been watching a couple of YouTube videos doing component-level repair. I've noticed some of them have super fine multimeter probes, often with insulation covering most of the length of the probe. I haven't found ones like this on my usual sites, but I'm not sure if I'm just missing something. Can anyone suggest some meter probes like this?

Haven't seen them for sale either, but you could MacGyver something by attaching sewing needles to your current multimeter leads. You can jam multimeter leads easily in male XT60 connector pins or equivalents You can solder a sewing needle to those and you'd have fine tip probes. Of course you'll have to keep in mind these needles will have some resistance.
