If anyone else needs prods with those weirdo ends on them, the made-for-military by Elwyn Inc 6625-01-121-0510 are a very sweet set of leads and come with pretty much all the ends you could want. (And because of how they're designed, you can put bananas on one end and pin-jack pins on the other, if you wanted to.)
I have a set myself, and I've given thought to picking up another 2 sets just because they're so awesome.
The old scope probe is a no-go my friend. In short, they're not built with normal coax. For more detail you can watch
