Third hand for ESR60

We have been marketing the Atlas ESR60 since it was introduced six months ago or so. It is a really nice ESR meter that also reads the value and has built-in protection against charged caps. However it sometimes takes three hands to use. After customer feedback on that and failure to convince Atlas to change the design I developed our own solution which I call The Third Hand. It is a simple switch in a nice package that fits comfortably in your palm.

We were forced to drop the Dick Smith ESR meter and the Capacitor Wizard folks are shut down again. ESR60 is the best now in my opinion.

I have one and like the small size and the short time out. The batteries last a very long time and it works as well as the DSE meter and has protection. I have not found the lack of remote control a problem but looks like an improvement.

Maybe also a footswitch option. :)
