00:00Inductance Capacitance Meter vs Multimeter, which is better voice-over script.
00:05Quick one before you buy, a multimeter reads capacitance, but it will not read inductance,
00:10and that difference decides which tool you actually need.
00:13I went through the listings and pulled the 5 best deals on both, so let's settle this.
00:18First up, Aning SC303.
00:21This is the multimeter side of the argument, 1999 count, AC DC voltage and current, data hold,
00:27high-precision, all for $10.28.
00:31It's rated 4.7 with almost 5,000 sold, so it's a proven daily driver.
00:36If you just want to check caps in general electrical work, this covers it and leaves money in your pocket.
00:43Now if you're working with SMD parts, Aning GN703 Smart Tweezers are the move.
00:48It's an LCR bridge in tweezer form, capacitance, resistance, inductance,
00:53plus ESR testing, and it self-calibrates.
00:57$31.99, 4.9 stars, over 4,700 sold.
01:02That's the highest rating in this whole lineup, and for tiny surface-mount components it's worth every cent.
01:08Then there's the DIY crowd pick, the DC5V high-precision inductance and capacitance meter kit.
01:15$14.57, 4.9 stars, 3,748 sold.
01:21This is the one that actually reads inductance directly, and you build it yourself, so you learn the circuit while
01:27you use it.
01:28If you're into electronics as a hobby, this is the fun option.
01:32Over to the LCR-T4-LCR-MF9-TC1-T7 tester.
01:39Under $11, $10.90, and it does ESR, capacitance, inductance, transistors, diodes, triodes, SCRs, and it ships with the test
01:48hook.
01:484.7 stars, 2,382 sold.
01:54Cheapest way to get real component testing on your bench, period.
01:58So, multimeter for capacitance, LCR for inductance, tweezers for SMD.
