Go to Agilent home page, search for 16334A.

I also have a homebrew design that works fine, resolution to as little
as 0.01pF, but haven't had a chance to move it from the breadboard
stage to a more finished implementation. It will be tweezers that
connect to a readout box through a single coaxial cable (RG-174-type).
There can be interchangeable "heads" -- tweezers, spring clips, etc.
If/when I get enough round tuits to finish it up, I'll post/publish
something on it.

Cheers,
Tom

with my capacitance tweezers

That sounds interesting. I have used regular tweezers to slip sm caps
into a fixture I made. This goes pretty fast except when I accidentally
twang a part into some far and unknown location.

Did you make these youself? Can you give a quick description.

I can think how I could make low capacitance tweezers, but not how to
flexibly connect them to a capacitance meter and get consistant
readings.
