While pricey, the investment has already paid off in trouble shooting a complex board that has numerous 0402 components. I'm surprised by the accuracy, although I wish it would go to 100 kHz to better isolate the component under test from the rest of the network. In a matter of minutes I found the bad component. When I removed it from the board I found that excess flux had prevented it from bonding to the pad, leaving the trace partially open. While other instruments at a lower price will work for larger components, this seems like a very good tool for the really small stuff.

I have also found it good for sorting components that are in cut tape, but not clearly marked. I have a pile of resistor values where the printing on the tapes was illegible. I can use the Smart Tweezers to poke through the tap and contact the component to take a measurement without removing it from the carrier.

Hobbyist here who hates discarding decent electronics because getting someone else to fix them will cost a small fortune with a waiting time of months. Not having to desolder components to accurately test them for failure is a massive boon and timersaver! The cost of this tool will be recouped when you consider the savings in man-hours.

This product comes very handy on testing and debugging smd components.
Lcr test modes with different sampling rates and non ideal models are very useful!
Every engineer, technician, hobbyist should have one of this. The convenience factor pays for itself.

I feel fortunate to have learned about the existence of Smart Tweezers! So handy what they can do with in-circuit testing. And useful too for a current project.

Absolutely incredible piece of kit. I've used this to troubleshoot bad capacitors on various bits and pieces of electronic equipment. Measurements are incredibly accurate for its size and price range. You'd be hard pressed to find anything comparable. It's worth every penny I have spent on it so far.
