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.

I did not intend to judge on the merit or necessity of the screen in this application, still just collecting data.

Ask any questions you want about it in my teardown thread. Without a schematic, my knowledge of its workings are pretty slim though.

I agree with that. 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.

medical and aerospace have blanket exemptions from leadfree ROHS requirements. because leadfree puts people and safety at risk.

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