By measuring a voltage drop across a resistor Vr (resistor value R can be also measured using ST) the current through the resistor is easily calculated Ir=Vr/R.

Yes, if you know the circuit and understand how it works. It can also be used for voltage measurements in a working circuit to debug it. By measuring a voltage drop on a resistor (that can be also measured using ST) the current through the resistor is easily calculated.

Typical accuracy is about 1% for resistance, 5% for capacitance and 10% for inductance measurements. This accuracy allows to select an SMD component from a strip because the variation on the strip is often higher than the measurement accuracy.

ST is an unrivaled tool for identification and measurement of surface mount device (SMT) components. Just imagine a bunch of devices with and without labels sitting on your desk. ST does this job in one touch, speeding the identification process hundreds of times.

Digital Multimeter Smart Tweezers comes in two models: with regular disposable batteries and with rechargeable batteries and inductive charger. If you use Smart Tweezers very often, say 2 hours of continuous use a day, and you use regular disposable batteries, your batteries will be depleted in about a month and you will then have to replace them. Eventually this will lead to damage of the thread in the plastic housing and you will need to replace the housing. If you use the rechargeable model, and you always put Smart Tweezers on the charging cradle when you do not use it, your batteries will last for about a year, even for a heavy use. The charger uses a trickle-charge charging in order to increase the battery life.

Excelta’s TM-200 IntelliTweeze is the same device as Smart Tweezers digital multimeter.
