| I would appreciate your opinions about the following device:
"Smart Tweezers LCR RCL RLC Meter Digital MultiMeter SMD"
I found on eBay. Looks like an interesting concept but is it as good as
the seller tells?

Hi Kolotun,
I just received my Smart Tweezers and spent all day
playing with them making measuremets on two way communications
equipment that uses SMD technology. I will have to say, I have alot of
neat test equipment, but these Canadian engineers were really on the
ball when they built this tester... There is nothing neater than being
able to measure and identify an unmarked SMD part with a device you
can hold in one hand.. The only possible thing I think they could have
added to this device is one more option in the main menu to let you
invert the LCD display 180 degrees so left handed folks (like me)
don't have to "cock your head" and read the upside down display! I
believe this device is well worth the money, IMHO... BTW, before you
order this device off of Ebay, go directly to one of the main sorces,
and get a TWO year guarantee (if bought before 30 May 2005 instead of
the one year guarantee on Ebay.. Best Luck then! Anthony, WB8MLA

| The option to flip the display left-handed users is available. It is in
the device menu.

Hi Virtum, Thanks.. I found that out after emailing Michael and he
told me this too... Well... I'm still getting use to this wonderful
product, and missed this in the instructions that of course, I only
breezed through! The Canadian Engineers did it all right on this
tool!! Thanks! Anthony, WB8MLA near Cleveland, Ohio USA
