No question. The TO-6A is OK, but the ZM is definitely more versatile and
rugged.
But you can't have my Sencore Z-meter 2. Keep an eye out for one of those.
(mine is the LC-75). Haven't used anything else since I got lucky finding
that one at a recycle/ re-use store. Uses pulsed DC to do actual
microampere leakage reading at voltage and so much more. Great for quick
and accurate checks for both caps and inductors. I use it on diode
junctions to find the PIV also. Using one of these will spoil you for
anything less.
