    Very good clamp multimeter

    posted by tengdahl on 11/19/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:

    Cons:
    The measurement leads that came with the meter feel a bit "cheap", might not be safest tools for mains voltage measurements (OK...

    Very useful clamp style digital multimeter

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

    Pros:
    Can be used to measure AC currents at 1 mA resolution. My unit starts showing results when measured current was 2 mA or higher. (many competing clamp meters have 10 mA or 100 mA resolution). Good size. So small that does not take too much space but so big ...
    Cons:
    The test leads that come with the multimeter feel kind of "cheap". I did not feel that they would be good for safe me...
