The poor man´s version of the "Smart Tweezers":

Measurement voltage can be changed from 500mV-RMS to 100mV-RMS so that semiconductors in parallel to your component don´t turn on.
Dual display (Q-factor/Dissipation factor), 100Hz...10kHz selectable test-frequency, auto-mode or manual L/C/ESR/DC-R selection, 6000 counts, 1.5...3% accuracy

The downsides:
1.) The slotted tweezer-tips are totally crap.
You have to replace them with sharp ones.
Not easy or cheap to find!
If you have a link for cheap replacement tips please post them in the comments!

2.) Last settings (especially test-frequency & test-voltage) are not stored after power-off

3.) Auto power-off time cannot be changed.
