Yes i have had a Cap Wizard for years .
When i was looking into buying one i studied the internet and peoples
reviews of several testers .
The Bob Barker is of coarse a very good unit no doubt .

It's Parker, not Barker.

The Cap Wizard is quicker to use and detects even the hard to detect
caps under circuitry .

How do you know if you've only ever used Doug Jones' Cap Wizard?
The Parker instrument ignores other circuitry to the same extent
because it also puts out only a very low test voltage.
BTW, I'm not putting down the Cap Wizard in the slightest. It has a
justified excellent reputation and is a fine instrument in its own
right. The Parker website even has links to the Cap Wizard website,
suggesting that people buy it if they prefer an analog meter to a
digital readout.
I just get hot under the collar when people make negative
assumptions and claims about something they've never seen.



Its like going from the ``test light`` to a
deluxe instrument .

There you go again.


You dont need to read and calculate any numbers ,

What calculations are you referring to?



just listen for a beep or/and look at the meter

OK, the Parker one doesn't beep and doesn't have an analog display
which is easier to instantly interpret.
But digital displays won't be damaged by the instrument being
dropped, so it's not all bad.
