My Quadtech Milliohm meter runs unshielded leads two pairs twisted in separate sleeves with a independent ground lead from the box to an alligator clip. The set of cheap and cheerful Chinese ones I rehacked for my bench meters have shields finishing at the main clips but tied the shields together to a 4mm socket. Side note the Quadtech kicks the but of my 34401A, 34461A and Advantest 6871E much below 10 \$\Omega\$ Depending on what/where you are testing it is worth the shielding IMO but not life ending if you don't have it. |

Without a schematic, my knowledge of its workings are pretty slim though. |

Always get high quality lead-free solder from a reputable brand. I'd like to add that lead free solder seems to have a much narrower temperature range over which it leads to good results so the temperature of the soldering iron is much more critical. --- End quote --- medical and aerospace have blanket exemptions from leadfree ROHS requirements. because leadfree puts people and safety at risk. |

Hmm, that makes lead-free solder a hazardous substance. :-DD |
