That's a good idea but unfortunately it still won't protect against accidents. Personally I think I would also add the diodes if I wanted to make sure

hmmmm...

$1 worth of diodes or $80 worth of meter? Let me think on that....

I m using a esr micro from Mike Klykov. Measure esr from 0.01 ohm to 160 ohm, and capaciti from 1 to 60000 microfarad. Verry good instrument for a not to manny money. Came with bateries inside and i m usin him for over a year and batteries are still ok. Came with manual and completly assembled, and in manual you can find a most common capacitor esr aproximate values. I think was 100$ with postal charges, and arive to me in four days, instrument was 55$ i think and postal charges was 45$.
