does it have enough power to light leds if so can it do it in both directions ?side note, i was always taught that OL meant open loop rather than ocer limit but i see quite a few people say it, thanks for the video

[@childscraig]

The book for my meter says over limit, might mean different things on different units, mine shows OL if it goes above the top of the range.

[@NNITRED]

I passed on these because while priced we they don't show ESR. That's key especially with so many low cost component meters out there that can be outfitted with tweezers.

Dónde lo puedo escuchar,en español?

[@xras66]

what about zener testing?

[@virgilioa.gomezjr.1539]

How much

[@willproctor7301]

It's a shame there's no auto hold if the value is read for a few seconds. Would be fairly useful if it could do that.

[@korishan]

Those little smd's are tiny little buggers. I've shot a few across the room a few times 😜

[@massimookissed1023]

Pity it isn't smart enough to check the diode in both directions itself.
Otherwise pretty cool.

[@KrisCochrane]

I agree, a little frustrating!
