They do work well for resistors and larger value capacitors, but most of the inductors that we use are too low in value to get an accurate reading. So, make sure that you look at the range of values that it can handle to see if it will work for you. We have a set of these at my work.

It's completely different measuring methods.

Wow couldn't you just build your own tweezer probe that plugs into your existing multimeter? Why build it when you can just buy them for 1/15 the price of this thing? http://www.testpath.com/categories/Test-Probes--Tweezers-Style-for-Multimeter-3281.htm When I saw SparkFun was carrying this, I thought it looked neat — until I saw the price!
