Deal Breaker: Diode measurement is in AC not DC, so it injects a signal into your circuit (assuming you're doing an in circuit measurement). Out of circuit, a diode will indeed show you it's voltage drop, but if you reverse the leads, it still shows the same drop; so you can't differentiate cathode from anode. Worse yet; when the unit is in diode measurement mode and nothing is connected to the tips, the display shows OL (for overload) which it should, but when the tips are shorted together the display still reads OL, which is wrong! The display should read 0v for a short - not OL. It's a cheapie kind of toy - maybe I'll keep it... I dunno yet

I do a lot of board level troubleshooting and found this to be surprisingly accurate. The display is easy-to-read and the idea it can be set up for left or right-handed usage has been helpful. The case is professional and compact. For the price I paid, definitely 5 stars.

This tiny well-built device is a wonder to behold. It isn't much bigger than a large pair of tweezers, but has a bright, compact, backlighted color LCD display.To determine the value of a circuit element: 1) turn it on, 2) place the tweezer arm contacts across the circuit element leads, and 3) viola, !!! the type L,C,R and value of the circuit element are shown in the display. I tested a number of components, resistors, capacitors, chokes, and found that it measures coponent values with good accuracy over a very wide range, from pico to mega... (farads, Henrys, ohms).It has many other bells and whistles- all good. There is a "hold" function to freeze the display, a manual toggle button to measure only L, C, or R of a component of the complex impedance value (e.g. a real and imaginary part such as R +C or L) and also includes diode and frequency measurment functions.Summary- a very small, valuable instrument that easily fits in a small toolbox or pocket. This conservative reviewer has already become irreversably spoiled by its versatility and the ease of using it.

I use this on very simple PCBs I design and for testing small parts.They aren't quite as magical as I'd hoped but they're still extremely useful. They don't completely replace a multimeter, but, again, they're still useful.I use them when I just need some quick and dirty readings. They're especially nice for confirming diode direction.I realized when getting them that each reading takes up to one second to register. This didn't sound like a big deal to me when ordering but in use it adds up when you're testing a bunch of part in sequence. You have to wait for confirmation between each test. This is a minor deal especially when taken in context of how this meter is meant to be used, but, well, I have to mention it.The display is small but very readable. I do have big but small complaint... The display does not auto rotate. You can change the orientation but only manually. I wish it would rotate like my usb-c soldering iron's display so no matter which hand you're using it's always upright. Again, small but not small complaint.Final Verdict: Very approved. I think there are nicer models out there that add a few features. But for quick-and-dirty testing these are still super helpful to keep on the shelf by my workbench.

This is an entry level LCR meter that includes a case, a charging cable, and a set of replacement tips. The color screen looks really nice and the case feels very durable. This device can test at three different frequencies 1KHZ, 10KHZ, and 100KHZ.These are mainly for testing SMD components which are extremely hard to test with traditional probes or clamps. You can test in circuit or out of circuit but your measurements will be affected in a negative way when testing in circuit. These tweezers really do their best when testing tiny loose SMD components. They can also test through hole components out of circuit, but it requires a little bit more work to do reliably.I really like the auto ranging mode on this device. It really knows what you are trying to measure the vast majority of the time.I tried testing a ton of different known good capacitors from my stockpile and everything tested within 10% of its rated capacitance. I also tested some bloated capacitors and the results were exactly what I expected.The only thing this tester really needs is a tilt sensor that flips the screen automatically. When taking measurments the screen can end up flipped the wrong way easily. You have to be very mindful of how you take your measurments in order to make sure the screen is in the right orientation.In the end, this is a flexible set of LCR tweezers. It has a ton of features at an entry level price range.

For $40 this LCR Tweezer for measure SMD components such as inductors, capacitors, resistors and diodes is an ok deal The quality is not as good as FNIRSI but it does work as designed. Included is a long USB-C charging cable but no charging adapter. Also there is a spare set of gold plated tip. Everything is inside a padded case. The diode measurement is kind of cool. I wonder if it actually measure both direction and tell if you if the reverse breakdown is bad.
