Every Maker Should Have [Pt.41]...SMD LCR-Tweezers (MS8911) 

You could reverse the direction of one or both of the bent tips in order to increase the spacing.

You have the best reviews in low price products. Thank you so much for giving a detailed video

Definitely would make reading 603 caps easier. I damn near lost one pressing two full size probes together and the cap jumped.. goodness

I saw your video about SMD components checking like resistor, capacitor, inductor, diode but I want to some because I'm confusing condition please help me I'm very thankful for your help

MS8911 looks really useful, but I thought you were going to compare results with your expensive LCR meter since you had it right there on the bench! But I do not think these are really intended for in-circuit measurement but rather for checking component identification and function during assembly. Only thing missing seems to be a higher voltage mode for diodes - 0.1v is good to definitely avoid turning junctions on, but 0.5v is not really high enough to be sure of turning them on when you want to (for example soldering an LED the right way round). Also, if they could put the hold button on the tweezer arm you could operate single-handed mitigating your left-handed difficulty! (But again, that is a little much to ask at the price.)

Does it Accurate in measuring Inductance ? Replay plzz

I have both of these (MS8911 and MS8910 without A in the end) as well as I have a DER EE DE-5000 LCR meter which is based on the same chipset as MS5308 but looks quite nice and also is a bang-for-buck (especially, if you''ll order it on ebay from Japan, 'cause taiwanese manufacturer sells them primarily on japanese market and very cheap; you can get it worldwide from Japan-based reseller for less than $100). DE-5000 can also easily measure component values using frequency up to 100kHz, though it seems that 120Hz isn't its native (or, maybe, not so clear sinewave - have to check it out) frequency among the others 'cause its readings of a component at this freq differ a little bit (they kinda stand aside) in comparison with the readings of the same component at 100Hz and 1kHz. Well, MS8910 can, actually, faintly lit up the UV and blue LED crystals (blinking them) ONLY in SCAN mode (and it cannot turn on the white ones because they have lower efficacy due to yellow luminophorous layer upon the semiconductor crystal; and, of course it cannot ignite the double-crystal, triple-crystal in series LED matrices and so on) Now I have to find out how to calibrate my MS8911 (though it is completely in-specs, but I want to know a way to perform, at least, "closed probes" and "open probes" calibration routines). BTW, there are a series of "smart tweezers" from a Russian manufacturer (years ago prices were $100 for earlier models; now they are also $130...250 depending on the model and options including bluetooth, Android app, Windows app and so on). They can do everything the canadian Smart Tweezers can do, and more (for example, they can show the oscillogram of a signal form in real time). Check it out, if you'd like (the site is multilingual): www.rlc-esr.ru/index.php/ru/kupit www.rlc-esr.ru/index.php/ru/?view=article&id=87:sravnenie&catid=8 (pricey, but you can expect the upgrades of firmware)

My Mastech MS8911 arrived yesterday. I was very disappointed. It was way off when I tested some capacitors. I tried every frequency along with the rms voltage. My capacitance and $19.95 meter gave me more accurate results.

Good!

Do you use it most of the time or did you get something different? Thanks for your videos.

Thanks for the video. Stay tuned, we will launch new products soon.

Hello.can you please share your experience/opinion regarding dt71 digital tweezers?

Hi you said that the R mode is for ESR measuring, but you showed that the measuring range starts at 60 Ohms is that really true because then it wouldnt be useful for ESR measuring

I cannot find the MASTECH MS8911 anywhere anymore. Seems like it isnt sold anymore.. do you know any substitude to it that works similar?

Hi, Nice video. How about this model VICTOR VC6013B? Appreciate if you can tell me the differences.

i wana ask .. can this LCR Tweezers use to inductor uH ?? from 6.0 -20 uH ?

Hello. went to the calibration menu MS8911. But I cannot save the changes ((. Do you have information about this mode? Thanks.

hi there thank you for your tutorial video. it was very useful. keep it up

I am enjoying Roger's videos. This one is no exception. Especially, because I immediatley began online shopping for this product: ebay, alitech, etc. Roger may be ahead of the curve as I cannot buy it right now the way I normally purchase components, so I will wait for it to show up. (I could buy it through a North American distributor in California but know full well what happens to the final price when shipped to Canada from the Mighty USA; custom's fees, hidden duty taxes, exorbitant shipping costs. It's very disappointing to see the sticker price double. This is why I will wait and why I buy from the East)

what's the benifit of htz/khz when testing components?

what are your thoughts on the "UT116C" .. i'm a beginner and to me it looks good but i am now where near your level of expertise.. i found it for arround 20 euro.

What about these two "UNIT SMD Multimeter UT116A UT116C" any good?

what is the price of MS8911

Do you know how to measure diode? i don't think they have a diode mode function?

Hallo sir

In capacitance mode is there any way to see other parameters like ESR or it shows only D(disipation)?

Great review...

What can you check with the scissor meter ?

what is the name of the probe? or probe tips you are using?...i like them,,,where can i order?
