Shannon ST42 LCR Tweezer Test and Comparison Thread
Phil1977:
Whoever uses a LCR tweezer mostly has some DMM - and continuity testing makes little sense with tweezer tips, in 99% of uses I want to test two points that need test leads.
I think the Zoyi and FNIRSI LCR tweezers are that low cost that they may be the only or first instrument some beginners or students buy. So it makes sense to add this feature because it´s just a few lines of code. But I really can't see any necessity for advanced users.
(Of course that´s just a personal opinion. I know there are geeks who use a HP3458 for continuity test :scared: )

Nailed it nicely. :-+

On the other hand, if the device can check continuity, it is not a disadvantage.
Perhaps it is just enough to see whether a trace is interrupted.
Changing the device for this is not exactly convenient.
You don't have to talk everything down just because it's cheap. ;)

Chatting today with Shannon, he may be considering a new lower spec and lower priced SMD tweezer.....
We need take such discussion to the parent thread:

Exactly.
It s simply not correct to say that any cheap instrument is bad nor is an expensive one good by default .
If a beeper is built in as is the case with the Shannon tweezers than it is pretty normal that it would work and applicable when doing continuity checks.
Why would it not be??
