Review on LCR Research Elite2 10KHz Accuracy Tweezers by Knate Scarpelli

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mandatory LCR tweezers for measuring SMD components

The LCR Elite2 is a great tool for measuring SMD components and for troubleshooting circuits. I mainly use this tool for circuit board repairs. It works pretty much as described - accurate, clear and fairly easy to use. I can find faulty components on the board in minutes, which is much more convenient than holding two probes and sticking them in a multimeter. I also really like the Elite2's "Aegis" surge protection feature. It's "just in case" hardware, which is definitely good for general peace of mind as it's pretty easy to forget about the performance of the board when I have to test so many boards in a day. Elite2 is also good at measuring and sorting. loose components. I have a number of SMD components of various sizes and ratings. The Elite2 can easily match these components and provide accurate results with the auto-detect feature, so I don't have to manually switch test settings between measurements on different components. This makes the measurement particularly convenient, especially to identify components that are not clearly marked. The Elite2 offers a basic accuracy of 0.2% and a test frequency of 10kHz, which is fine for my everyday use but for users who need to measure very small inductors and capacitors. , I recommend the LCR Pro1 model, which offers a basic accuracy of 0.1% and a test frequency of 100 kHz.

Pros
  • High Accuracy - R: 0.2%, C: 0.2% L: 0.4%
Cons
  • Expensive
