Honeytek A6013L Capacitor Tester

The Honeytek A6013L Capacitor Tester is a very useful tool, especially in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning. I've used it multiple times to test capacitors in HVAC systems, and it has proven to be accurate and reliable. It's easy to use, provides clear readings, and covers a wide range of capacitance values. The device is compact, durable, and gets the job done without complications. If you work in refrigeration, air conditioning, or any field where capacitor testing is needed, this is a great tool to have in your kit. Highly recommended.

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.

Cheap price and quality, works fine...

This item is not expensive, but lets you check the condition of the capacitor in question quickly and easily. It is worth the cost.

I have used it twice now to test a capacitor on my dehumidifier and a neighbor's AC condensing unit. It caught the failed capacitor both times. I tested the replacement parts, and they tested within spec, so I installed them, and the problems were fixed. I don't know how accurate this meter is, but as long as it can tell me whether a capacitor is dead, and the replacement part is working, that's all I really need.

this is a great tool use it in class

Amazing stills works like new years later

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.

Nice bit of kit. thanx

Worth having, just make sure to discharge the capacitors before testing.

All good

Fantastic tool. Great value and versatile.

Its cheap and Chinese, but it works well, ideal for the hobbyist
