Seconding this. These little doodads are to put it lightly, pretty impressive. I tested mine against a friends ESR meter that cost at least 10-15X the price and the results were basically identical. Plus it can identify all kinds of components, which is useful if you have a drawer of random mixed transistors in the same case packaging.
