DM 4070 LCR Meter
The DM 4070 works well. I tested all functions against known value "New" components. While not a highly expensive Lab Quality Instrument, it does a very adequate job of measuring component values, which would be otherwise have to be taken for their labeled value,( for vintage components that are apt to change over time / prior usage) or in some instances, where component values are completely unknown. Considerably as reliable as an average "Null Meter", without construction. Calibration function works well. While I'm confident in my knowledge and abilities, It's best to read the DM 4070 Instruction Manual prior to use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good meter except for small inductors
This meter is a good value if you don't need to measure devices near the lower extremes of its measurement range. Actually, let me be more specific. The specifications state that it will measure down to .01uH and .01pf. It seems to do fine with resistors and capacitors but not so much with inductors at the low end. And small inductors is what I need it for. I'm working with inductors from about 13uH down to just over 1uH. At 13uH it is off by 1uH (meter reads 14uH). As the inductors get smaller the error gets greater. A straight piece of wire about 1 inch long measures 1.7uH. If you are dealing with inductances of say 25uH or greater then I think this will be a good value for you. If you're in the same boat as I am then you should look elsewhere. My meter is going back.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice meter.
The meter is decent and matched most readings with a better meter fairly closely. I bought it to do inductive measurements and I have no other meter for that. The cables are junk and barely function at all as alligator clips, but you can use them to probe without clipping. So if you have other cables, that might work better... Instrument gets 5, cables get one or zero stars. Hard to beat for the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Overall a good value
Tested on a couple of caps and one choke and it seems to be accurate. The only real gripe is that it came with a dead battery(9V). Turned it on and nothing happened. Took the battery out and it measured only 5V. The problem appears to be that when the unit is placed in the nylon carrying case the ON/OFF button can easily be pushed if anything is touched in that area of the case. Be prepared to replace the battery. The plastic case is pretty cheap but it does come with a rubber protective boot and nylon carrying case which work well other than the above problem. I may skip the carrying case and just use the cardboard box it came in to prevent the power problem.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I bought it because it had a 1999 microfarad capablility
FIRST I like the on off button and the auto-off when the meter looses interest. My gram scale does this in about a minute and it drives me nuts. Second I like the 20 megohm scale for checking capacitors for leakage This meter when used with the skill learned by reading and understanding the two books noted below will be sufficient for most people. Otherwise expect disappointment and occasional dumbfounding. You will not likely get more for your money. Example: A $5000 HP bridge will measure a 100 volt source in series with a 1 megohm resistor and show 100 volts. This meter will not even be on the same planet. Very high impedance circuits require this just to avoid total failure of what they were doing. . For L C and R components $ under 100 meters 4 or even 3 digit meters are wishful thinking in all cases. If you want to know what you are actually doing I suggest buying a small book TROUBLESHOOTING ANALOG CIRCUITS. Don't expect to fine one being sold by a living original purchaser. Expect sticker shock for the paperback but Robert A Pease teach you more about components than you will get out of a college EE course. Bob was an M.I.T. engineer for National Semiconductor. I and a million others around the planet miss him. HOWEVER if you want to actually know about leakage you will need to buy a multi thousand dollar General Radio meter or equivalent that will measure leakage at the rated voltage. I made several using the power supply of a couple disposable cameras where I could meter the voltage across the capacitor. IF YUU ARE FREAKED OUT BY BURNED HOLES IN YOUR FINGERS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. There very few meters that will measure 1999 microfarads. on today's market. Most of them are priced out of sight. Even the 4 wire probes and fixtures are $30 to $3000. You get what you pay for. There three things about measuring capacitors, inductors and even resistors. . First you need to realize that these components are actually not pure whatever. Capacitors are first capacitors if they are large but as they go down toward Pf sizes they are also inductors and resistors. For this reason the % accuracy quoted will vary with the construction and the frequency of the measuring bridge power source. Comparing this meter with the companion DVM / capacity and whatever meter you will see a difference of up to 5% depending on the construction of the C or L. Kelvin connections for any metering is essential to accuracy. . Buy the Fluke book Calibration: Philosophy In Practice and learn how meters obtain accuracy and what they actually do to achieve dead on accuracy or dismal failure. It helps to know what you want and can actually do. For L and C you need 4 wire shielded cable fixtures to achieve dead on accuracy where you can detect temperature effects of 10 degrees. DO NOT EXPECT THIS MIRACLE IN A METER COSTING LESS THAN $1000. Even then you will be offered 2 or 3 frequencies and get 2 or 3 readings on the same part that are quite different. REMEMBER RESISTORS CAPACTORS AND INDUCTORS ARE ALL A COMBINATION OF THE THREE.. FOR DEAD ON ACCURACY YOU MUST USE A CIRCUIT EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOUR INTENDED USAGE.

Good LCR meter
Very nice LCR meter only negative is the on off button which can be activated too easy, when my meter arrived it was on and battery almost empty. Also there should be an automatic power saver built-in.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

works great I have no pictures
Very easy to use have had the occasion to use it a couple of tines seems to be fairly acuaret for my needs. thanksVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good meter for the money.
This is a good meter for the money. Have used other multi-meters but have not used any other LCR meters so I can't compare to others, but it works well for me. And the screen is easy to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Valuable tool to have
This is the first time I have used a meter of this type so I can't compare it to anything else,but it was dead simple to use and got the job done. I needed it to help me build a coil antenna where I needed to know the inductance of a coil and also the capacitance of a variable capacitor to determine wire length needed for the frequency of interest. This is a handy little meter to have if you are into electronics at all. You can't beat the value of this meter! - unless you can afford much more expensive Vector Network Analyzers. The build quality is good and the unit feels solid I would definitely recommend to any electronics or radio hobbyist to have this on hand.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
