View a great informational page created by a satisfied customer and some independent reviews of the Blue ESR/Low Ohms Meter from Circuit Spot, Capacitor Lab and eHam . Also some great repair videos on Dave's TV Repair page. Our Malaysian distributor has also published an excellent tutorial on how to get the most from your ESR meter.
From our Past Customers on the Web:
"I appreciate the great service, the kit went together extremely well. I am very impressed with the quality of the PC board and how well the meter works". - Peter
"Works well. I ordered tweezers for making it easier to test on board components. Even without the tweezers, this esr meter is easy to use with an easy to read chart on the front" G. Michael Phillips
"I am heavily involved with repairing and building vacuum tube amplifiers and use this piece of test equipment regularly. Great device! Kar M. Sandoval
"I'll tell you why I DO feel lucky, and that's having purchased from someone who still understands the meaning of customer service! That goes a long way in my book (well, if I had a book.)" Todd
" I am extremely happy with the purchase. It quickly determines the good or bad status of caps and would recommend its purchase. It will be worth the price the first time you diagnose a clean looking cap that is in fact internally damaged" Dan A Peterson
"I use a "Blue ESR Meter" which works great for testing ESR in circuit, as well as battery health, such as AA alkaline and re-chargeables. I found it's accuracy to be close to that of a Sencore analyzer with a 5 digit price tag" ThatOneGuy
Saw Uncle Doug using this on YouTube and thought I should get this as I had an old Fender amp I was restoring. This is the tool to have for checking old electrolytic capacitors. James C.
Very useful to identify bad capacitors that otherwise would not be detected. If you repair or work with vintage electronics you need this. Mark M.

I purchased my esr meter about a year ago and have used it from time to time and have yet to replace the battery. My guess is that battery usage would be similar to that of a typical ohm meter. I am extremely happy with the purchase. It quickly determines the good or bad status of caps and would recommend its purchase. It will be worth the price the first time you diagnose a clean looking cap that is in fact internally damaged. Dan A Peterson
