AnaTek's Third Hand for the Atlas ESR60  $11.95 

The Atlas ESR60 ESR meter is a wonderful new piece of test equipment with one flaw:  If you want to go from capacitor to capacitor on a board and the leads are too short to grab with the alligator clips on the ESR60 then you need a third hand.  One hand holds one alligator clip, the other hand holds the other alligator clip and you press the button on the ESR60 with your third hand.  Technicians have thrown joints out of whack trying to perform this miracle!

AnaTek solved the problem with its own Third Hand.

AnaTek’s Third Hand for the ESR60 allows the user to move from component to component easily while holding the ESR60 alligator clips between thumb and forefinger and the Third Hand in the palm of either hand.  When the alligator clips are connected to a capacitor to be tested the user merely presses the button in Third Hand with his pinky finger to activate the Atlas ESR60.  The picture below demonstrates the proper technique:
