I have a few very low resistance resistors (around 50 milliohms), four
terminal of course, rated at .05% or maybe better. I built a low resistance
Ohmmeter but don't use it since I got my HP3456A with very good resolution. I
can measure the resistance of a screwdriver shaft with it, although there can
be issues with contact potential. It has a function to eliminate that error
but I am not too confident. Measuring using AC would be a good solution.
I bought some cheap Kelvin test clips but they don't hold on too well, and I
don't know how to modify them for more solid clamping. (They are similar to
ordinary clips but each jaw is insulated separately so you can use them for 4
terminal measurements. The DIY meter simply uses four clips.)

I see this is a low-resistance (10 u ohm resolution) ohmmeter. Have you any
idea how you are going to check the calibration? I just bought a Simpson
444, which has 1 u ohm resolution. I have not got it yet, but are wondering
how I am going to check the calibration.
0.005% resistors are available from Farnell in a fairly limited number of
values, but certainty not in the range of values needed for a milli/micro
ohm meter.
