Well, you did not say the Fluke was broken.

I would have replaced a broken meter too.

But you do realize that these hand held meters (Flukes included) C and L measurements are ballpark estimates at best. The 37XR is rated 3% accuracy for caps and 5% for inductors. That's ok if you are repairing something and just want to know if this cap or coil is good or bad but hardly enough for designing or tweaks like matching components where accuracy is important. Does it even compensate for lead capacitance or inductance?
