I was mistaken when I wrote my review. I didn't have my meter in front of me, Mine IS an Esr meter in the exact case as this capacitance meter. My Esr meter has the charts on the front otherwise looks identical. My model is a MESR-100. I would Not use a capacitance meter to test caps in circuit but an ESR meter works fine testing them in circuit.

Hi Frankcw,

Thanks for your sharing. But having an ESR meter would be an added advantage because many e-caps fail but the capacitance still check good.

I've owned one of these for about 2 years. I have fixed a couple dozen lcd monitors, several TVs and motherboards with it. It will test for bad caps in circuit as long as they are not banked together. I looked at building my own ESR meter but bought this one, it was cheaper and easier. I've been very happy with the meter. I did buy the tweezer type probes for it and that makes it a lot easier to test caps both in or out of circuit.

Hi Jon,

It is to test cap off circuit.

This does not measure caps on circuit.

Hi Jerry,

I believe is the same between the JY6013 and M6013. The difference in prices mainly because there are few sellers in ebay. I ordered the one also marked as M6013 but the order form was J6013.

Hi Jerry,

Actually I have seen the marking as M6013 but all the ebay seller named it as JY6013. I just ordered one few days ago and hope to get it by this week. Do you have the link for the JY6013 and the M6013 pricing?

Sir,
i have a question, is JY6013 and M6013 are different? because the model you refer is JY6013 but in the picture the model is M6013? and they have also different price, the JY6013 is $34 and the M6013 is $27. which is much better the JY6013 or M6013?
Thank You.
