Review on πŸ” LCR Research Pro1 Plus - High Precision 100KHz LCR Meter with 0.1% Accuracy, LED Tester, ESR Meter, Smart SMD Tweezers, and Spare Test Tips by Michael Maes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Required for manual processing of SMD

I won't work with SMD again without this tester. It's professionally designed and meets the specs for every test I've run to date. There are not many details to improve. The only two small tips found so far are: 1) A good quality OLED has a low refresh rate. Flickering is annoying when moving the tweezers if it can be seen in the corner of the field of view. 2) The values given seem to be too high. Looking at a high precision 1 Meg 0.02% resistor, the tweezers read 999.35 kΞ©. It looks absolutely perfect at first glance. But if you wait a while, the reading can jump to 999.11k for several measurements, and then back to 999.35k. No intermediate value is displayed (which could be explained by noise or drift). My guess is that the resolution at this scale is definitely less than 0.01k. I'd rather just see a useful, meaningful number of digits on a given scale.

Pros
  • Robust version
Cons
  • Only available in black
