Review on LCR Research Elite2 10KHz Accuracy Tweezers by David Maxwell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best value LCR tweezers

In summary, the LCR Elite2 is an excellent LCR tweezers for testing surface mount components and for troubleshooting circuit failures. I highly recommend this product. When I was looking for LCR tweezers, I found several different models at Revain, ranging from high-end models that sell for around $300 with 0.1% accuracy and 100kHz bandwidth, to 10 kHz bandwidth with an accuracy of 0.5% for cheaper models, which typically sell for less than $200. After carefully comparing the features and price, I bought the Elite2 LCR tweezers because they were the best for my purposes. This instrument offers an accuracy of 0.2% and a bandwidth of 10 kHz. Although it has lower specs than high-end models, it's more than adequate for my application. With a price range of $200, these are the best performing LCR tweezers on the market right now, in my opinion. I have been using the Elite2 LCR tweezers for about a month now and am very impressed with the performance of this tool. As a research engineer in the semiconductor industry, I mainly use it to identify SMD components and debug board prototypes. These LCR tweezers are very handy. It easily reaches SMD components and displays measurement results accurately and quickly, especially in Auto mode, which automatically detects the component type (resistor, capacitor or inductor) using optimized test frequencies. The self-calibration function is also useful. This will make the results more accurate when measuring low value components. I also like the surge protection on the tweezers. This is a must have for me as my previous LCR meter was damaged by high voltage when I was using it to measure on a powered board. Thanks to the over-voltage protection function, I can have peace of mind and no longer have to worry about such damage if I forget to turn off the power when using the tweezers for in-circuit measurements. This makes the tweezers more durable and reliable.

Pros
  • 4 test frequencies - 100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz
Cons
  • Slightly torn
