Esr meter- Which one?

I have questions from fellow repair friends and students asking on which esr meter is the best? My answer to them- what's your budget? Cheap and expensive esr meter definitely have some differences in term of spec. Generally the basic spec of esr meter is it must have the capabilities to measure esr ohm down to 0.01 ohm ,test frequencies of 100Khz, in-circuit check, and polarity free. At my workshop, i'm using the dick smith and capanalyzer 88A esr meter. Both meters have help me a lot in solving tough dog problem. I don't have the cap wizard perhaps the blog readers can give some comment on this esr meter. Besides this, Tenma and B&k precision also have their own version of esr meter. Recently Peakelec.co.uk the famous test equipment company have launched a new esr meter (model esr60). If you compare the spec with other esr meter you found that it can check the capacitance as well! If you already owned one then it is not necessary to get another one-again it depends on your budget and your choice-some tech like to buy a lot of new meters. However if you are new in this field and would like to buy esr meter then i will recommend the dick smith esr meter. If you have the budget you can straight away to buy the expensive one.
