Thanks for taking the time to make this video review. Im on the market for a tester and wasnt able to review them on my own. Great video.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Wandy, thank you for leaving a comment, glad i could help. enjoy your new tweezer!.

[@laszlocsonka]

Thank you.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks!

[@pault6533]

Your video was very helpful, especially at the end when you were waving them around. I could get a sense for how they balance. I chose the Holdpeak for ergonomics, readability, and zener diode mode. I found that the Holdpeak has very long springs inside the battery bay, making it difficult to install NiMH and other high quality AA cells. I cut them down to 60 percent length and now all is good. The accuracy is just fine except below 10R and below 300 pF where it diverges significantly. I've tested Zeners up to 24 with this and it's quite accurate. Also, the banana terminals on the holdpeak accessory leads were somewhat rusty right out of the box and the plastic holders for those bananas flimsy. This doesn't make sense because the probe tips are gold plated and the wires very good. I changed out the ends with gold plated banana plugs.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks for sharing that, nice mods!

[@rotanal9563]

Nice video! I guess that none of them may get display tilted of 180°. No mercy for lefthanded repairmen. 😕

[@TonyAlbus]

You have an very interesting point there! now OLED displays becoming more standard flipping the display should be possible more easy now, with LCD this was not.

[@kostashellas3339]

Thank you for your help !!! I bought the unit

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks! which one did you pick?

[@kostashellas3339]

@@TonyAlbus the ut116c . I will try to measure capacitors in circuit

@@kostashellas3339 Yes that is many people favorit, nice!

​@@TonyAlbus do you know what's the purpose of metal parts on plastic cover?

Thank you . Very Helpful

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@tcirit]

Which one is better uni-t 116c or uni-t 116a?

[@TonyAlbus]

The C has more counts and more options.

[@tcirit]

​@@TonyAlbus I have one last question on this subject. I'm asking you because I'm an electronics newbie. Mastech is a bit more expensive and do you think it's worth it? Mastech or Uni-T? Thanks

[@TonyAlbus]

@@tcirit That is personal preference i think.. one is smaller the other looks stronger. it depends how you use it. the other differences i tried to show in the video. i can not make that choice for you.

[@tcirit]

@TonyAlbus Now I can see the differences. I would like to watch a review for MS8910 vs. MS8911 from you. 😁

[@ubtech2938]

I have the uni-t one I fill like it's kinda Annoying When I use it for too long My hand begins to pain I don't know why they didn't use a magnetic or spring Mechanism to bend the probes They Instead Use The plastic itself Which is very hard And need to be Squeezed So bad In order to measure the stuff you want to test

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes agree with you, i sold the UNI-T last year and keeping the Mashtech

[@feridferid1739]

Teşekkür ederim . Yeni videolarınızı bekliyorum .

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you! more will be coming. :)

[@ssalient]

Nice comparison. Is that Uni-T really that heavy to become an annoyance (both weight and tweezer push)? It seems, for that price, like quite a good device for its purpose and t.b.h. I personally like the tweezer-cover better than to have to put the device into a box all the time.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Marnix, The Uni-T has a nice box, a tweezer cover and was calibrated best. For me is was the weight. The Mashtech is smaller lighter was not trying to twist my wrist ..it does have less options. Now i could compare the weight against an other, so that is a bit tricky, but i think i would have mentioned the weight also if i only had the uni-t. Like in my sum-up at the end.. mashtech at the desk UNI-T for on the road. depends where you are more, or you need those options that the Mashtech is missing. The tweezer push will get better in time i would think.

[@luisvallebernal9059]

Which one will you strongly recommend yo buy?or in your opinion which of these is better

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Luis, i would go for the green one. because of size, weight ability

[@johncoops6897]

Surely you could just watch the video? He actually answers that question at the end!

[@_Osman_Dag_]

Does it give the correct dimensions of the capacitors on the pcb ? Is the value measured on the pcb the same as the measured value outside the pcb, that is, when the component is idle ? I would be grateful if you would post a video on this topic, best regards.

[@TonyAlbus]

I can not say, it depends on the circuit... i you messuere 1 cap... that is a parallel of other caps. i will not messure the value of that 1 cap but off all of them... in circuit not the best way to messuere.. but you can detect a short.

They made a great man....hi to you my friend

[@TonyAlbus]

Hallo, greatings and thank you

[@achimgazelle3641]

Hi, i'm not a professional but i wanted to buy one for my hobby work. which of the 3 would you recommend? My english is not so good so I couldn't understand everything. Is BT 990 C not usable at all?

[@TonyAlbus]

They are all 3 okey these tester are not that acurate but good enough. the UNI-T was best in my test

[@achimgazelle3641]

@@TonyAlbus ok thanks. i bought the BT 990C, for 14,29 EUR.i am not a professional,will use it rarely,so i didn't want to spend a lot of money.

[@TonyAlbus]

@@achimgazelle3641 Good choice for hobby and nice price, enjoy it!

[@geirendre]

But why would you want a tweezer DMMs like these, and not just tweezer testleads that you put into your regular benchtop meter? That's both cheaper and more flexible (easy to swap between different multimeters, LCR-meters etc).

[@TonyAlbus]

is indeed also an option, depends if the DuT fits the bench. will add the tweezers cables also to the item links in the description. thanks!

[@arevut]

Thanx. Nice review

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks Mike, welcome!

[@duchtdixon894]

Quello giallo e il migliore?

[@TonyAlbus]

Its personal, most like the Red one, i like the Green one.

[@microwave-vh2uc]

Do they measure pf?

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Jose, No they don't for those low values you need proper kelvin 4 wire.

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Hey Tony, goeie vergelijkingsvideo. Ik zou denk ik voor de UNI-T gaan.

[@TonyAlbus]

ja is prima afgeregeld en stevig..
