LCR/ESR meter

**I use one of these:

Works extremely well, though there are cheaper options.

Thanks, that's interesting. I see they have other gear, will have look at those. Anyone selling in USA? Bill

There is always the Bob Parker design that we sell here in Canada...

Noted. Thank you.

**Of course:

I also have one of these:

Even more impressive, IMO.

I built one of those, and it's fun, but the DE-5000 is quite a lot better. It gives you more choice of measurement frequencies and can support a wider impedance range. Find it on EBay.

Peak make nice things. I have one of their 3-terminal component identifier/testers, excellent for figuring out what something s and getting rough measurements.

Looks like they are "phantom-ware" at the moment, neither instrument is in stock or even back-order able! Another supply chain casualty I suppose.

**Possibly. They're in stock in Europe:

I have a pair of Smart Tweezers from some outfit in Canada that wasn't called Syborg when I bought them. The ones I have are about 10 years old and cost around $400. They're beautiful and work very well--100 Hz,

1 kHz, 10 kHz measurement frequencies, and good accuracy doing in-circuit measurements. They won't work in every circuit, of course, but with Rs and Cs and semiconductors, they're fine.

**Like these?

. The ones I have aren't currently in production, which is unsurprising since I bought them 2010ish. Super useful.
