DT71 Mini Digital Tweezers

Honest Review: I really wanted to love these! The idea is awesome, a pair of tweezers that replaces your multimeter and can quickly identify an unknown tiny SMD component and give you an accurate readout on its little OLED display. The fit and finish - It's clearly made to a price point. My pair had the arms slightly crooked so the contacts didn't meet up until they were fully closed. Looking at other reviews, I think I got a bad pair and many of my gripes may originate from this defect. Measuring components in circuit - This goes for any meter, not just the DT71. You really can't reliably measure a components value in circuit (there are exceptions, but as a general rule, the reading will be off) And that is the entire purpose of these tweezers, to measure SMD in circuit. If you were to try to measure a loose 0805 SMD resistor, there's a good chance of it getting launched across the room never to be seen again (probably due to my wonky arms but mostly due to the springy nature of the
