Has anyone here built one or at least seen the construction details?
Any comments?

Thanks Kip!
I thought it was a bit strange that they'd bring out another ESR
meter design... it's just two earlier projects combined, so now I
know.

Cheers

How about a kit for the LCR Twezers? or plans. Anyone seen that. $274.00
seems like allot. I think this has been talked about but is it worth it?

I read the article

This is weird I can not remember the correct values time/capacitance
it takes about 15 minutes to read a 470µFd capacitor

But the point was, I thought it was strange how the meter took so long to
measure a slightly big value

Also they run twin leads to each probe, they have not worked out how to zero
out the lead resistance.
