As I said, they are called "grabber" test leads,  or mini grabbers,
 Commodity Chinese item if you want to go cheap.    You can get packs of 10
without wires and make up your own leads,  premade with grabber on one end
and Dupont connectors on other or with a grabber on each end.

The HP grabbers from their logic analyzers show up cheap on eBay:

Just use some decent quality F-F dupont cables to connect them.

If you look closely, on the pin side, the pins have a small hole in them
