I was wondering how much difference a set of off knock LCR smart Tweezers match up to the real ones I see them on amazon like the mastech ms8910
http://www.amazon.com/Mastech-Ms8910-Res...
Do these get the job done and test in circuit? Any help would be appreciated.
Is this a good question?

I believe that the only way to answer this is to take the "knock- off" meter and measure multiple resistors with known values. than use a "Quality" meter and measure the same resistors again. Compare the values and you got your answer. Each meter will have a certain variance and each meter might be different. Measure, compare, evaluate....

That's great idea thank you! I was wondering too if anyone had actually used the 2 I'm wanting to be able to test in circuit.
I would think that even the cheap ones are reliable within a certain tolerance. I just find the the cheap meter most certainly do not last as long as quality ones.
Thank you for accepting my answer. Good Luck.
+ Right off the top I see the one you linked to does not test L (inductance). It also doesn't test ESR or impedance like the products made by Advance Devices.
Click here for a web page a where they describe a hack/mod for the Mastech MS8910 Smart Tweezers to include voltage testing. They did a fairly good review on the product. They compared it's measurements to a Fluke multimeter on resistance and capacitance, over all it held up quite well with what it does measure. It should make a nice preliminary inspection tool, for the price. I'd own it for that purpose, especially with the voltage mod.

John, just out of curiosity, what are using this far to measure any of your components?
