Real very pratical tools ! Thanks

Yes, that is what I thought, instructions for dummies ;)
and do not listen to the experts like winfred :D

i didn't say there was anything wrong with it, just that i am lazy and check my resistors with a meter instead of decoding the bands :D, hell i check them anyway to make sure they are good, the last batch of resistors i bought for my e24 cruise/fuel gauge project was a couple variety packs from radio shack and i just went through them and marked on the tape the values

that is what I meant, you are the expert and do it every day and we (most of us) are the dummies which do it once every year, and then such thing helps, ;) :D

If you dont know the codes thats a damn good tool. Could I just point out that if you are checking resistors in a circuit, you need to have one end disconnected from the board to avoid false readings:)
