Electrician's meter – Auto Range Digital Clamp Multimeter Reviews

posted by mike99 on 01/05/2008 Certified Owner

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
Measures A/C current in 3 ranges: 20A, 200A, and 400A. A/C voltage up to 450 D/C voltage up to 600 Continuty / diode Resistance up to 200k
Seems rugged.
Low battery indication
Cons:
Dial is stiff
No auto power off
No DC current measure
No back light
Other:
Next best deal I've ever seen for a clamp meter is $50. Very small and feels tough.
Bottomline:
For general purpose use you'll probably be happier with the wallet type meter DX sells. But for an electrical contractor its great.
