Pros

This is the best capacitor esr meter that i have used. It is fairly accurate for esr and capacitance. Perfect for tracking down leaky caps.

If you need to test capacitors esr this is an essential tool.

This unit is a must for bench techs everywhere. The microprocessor in it takes care of all of the work. This is a must have for any electronics workshop.

This is a very convenient and easy to use tool. It's a helpful tool that i’ll continue to use.



Cons

It only reads esr. It displays a capacitance value, but it's fictional. Battery replacement involves taking it all apart, and the battery holder inspires no confidence at all. The meter shows very inaccurate readings in capacitance even after the lead...  Read More

    These things are very expensive and also fairly fragile so you would think they would come with a 50 cent case

    I bought this back in 2012 and although ive rarely needed it my esr70 has more than paid for itself

    Have no other way of measuring its accuracy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I know it’s not that simple because the leads are coming out from the bottom

    But i had to 3d print my own stand for it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Magnet would be a good idea so it can be attached to a metal surface


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The leads are long and noteveryone has eye sight to read at a distance

    I am so tired of cheap chinese garbage everywhere
