Review on 🔧 Smart Tweezers ST5-S: Advanced LCR Meter/ESR Meter with Extra Test Leads and Protective Pocket Case by Ben Swett

I use it mainly when working on prototypes of control devices for industrial automation - the device works exactly as described, there have not been any glitches and breakdowns yet. Great help when repairing, populating or tweaking boards with small SMD components (those seemingly gold plated tabs included in the box sit easily on the 0402 footprint components and are generally of good quality - the "short" - resistance is less than 40 mΩ ) - this saves a lot of time compared to the frustrating process of holding a traditional multimeter's probes like chopsticks. Fast and accurate (compared to a Fluke bench multimeter) readings, a clear OLED graphic display, multiple measurement modes and presets (including e.g. capacitor ESR measurement, diode dropout voltage (also useful for transistors), etc.) something like this Tweezers becomes extremely useful for finding the right replacement components to remove from broken circuit boards to revive a repaired device. For example, the "joystick control" has direct access to general measurement modes and parameter settings.
