* Auto-ranging to cover 0.01 - 99 ohms 
* Single pushbutton to easily control all functions
* Test lead resistance zeroing compensation
* Automatic power off when reading is unchanged for 3 minutes
* Low battery voltage warning ('b' flashes on right-hand digit)
* Big, easy to read BLUE 0.5 inch (13mm) LED displays
* Table of typical good capacitor ESR readings on the front panel
* Built-in self test to aid in troubleshooting
* Tests electrolytics in circuit, & test leads are non-polarized.
* 9-Volt battery is included.

The assembled meter leads have banana plugs for the included pair of simple slide-on alligator clips. You may wish to purchase the banana-socket probes  alligator, or Parrot clips, stand...

Note that the photograph shows the optional Alligator Clips, the actual clips included with this kit are simpler...
