Capacitance meter...but it only measures the value...not if the capacitor leaks or arcs over when used.

Capacitors drying out can show a value higher then it was from start and still be just crap.

You really need a highvoltage source with a limited amount of current (to keep yourself from frying if things go wrong) and a mA meter to see what is going on in real.
