Honeytek A6013L Capacitor Tester

As a guitar tech, I constantly need to be checking the values of capacitors, I don't know why it's not standard to print the darn values right on the little jiggers.Anyway, this little bit of kit has never let me down, it easy to use, affordable, and seems very accurate.I wouldn't dream of living without this guy, don't know how I got along for so many years without it!

Was surprised how accurate it was (especially for the price). Saved me a bundle of $$$$. Ordered Cap on Amazon, and VOILA my furnace motor is once again working. Now I need to check the Cap on my AC unit, and replace it before it fails.I checked the battery in the unit and it was bard new, measured over 9.7 volts on my Multimeter. Also for the user who complained the leads are too short, the length of leads are important for the accuracy of the reading, as long leads will add capacitance to the reading and give you false readings.

The contact quality of the probe line with the device may be a concerns.

Great! I really needed this and this meter seems to work as it should. Been using for 6 months and all is ok.

I bought this Honeytek A6013L capacitor tester and I regret every cent. Right out of the box, it was a disaster. The included 9V battery was already installed, completely dead, and had leaked inside the unit. The battery compartment has no enclosure—the battery literally sits pressed against the back of the LCD screen. Who thought that was a good idea?The LCD is connected to the board by thin wires that were pinched between the casing, a blatant quality control failure. The casing itself is held together with self-tapping screws that strip the plastic the first time you open it—so even basic maintenance wrecks the thing.The leads are a joke: short 6-inch wires that barely reach anything and don’t even fit securely in the slots. As for performance? It’s not auto-ranging, and every capacitor I tested measured 10% off across the board, regardless of the value or range.This isn’t a tool—it’s barely a functioning toy. Between the horrendous build quality, inaccurate readings, and total lack of proper engineering, I’d give this zero stars if I could. Save yourself the headache and spend your money on something that’s not landfill-ready straight out of the package.Do not buy.

Works great, tested the capacitor on my AC using a youtube video and this. Our other multimeter didn't have the right settings.

this is very handy compositor test. It works great

If you live in area where each summer has 3 months of temperatures above 100 degrees this is a must have, along with spare capacitors. Mobile HVAC companies will con the unknowing owner out of several hundred dollars to replace a 15 dollar start/run capacitor. During A/C season I constantly check the capacitors for strength to replace the weak ones before they fail and possibly cause a compressor lock. This tool makes it easy enough to do it with the capacitor installed in the unit. Just do your homework and learn about how capacitors work, and how they can bite you if you are not careful.
