Brilliant little clamp meter very accurate and easy to use

For the price, this handy little Meter/Tester is well worth buying! The fact that it measures not only AC but DC Current too, is worth the price in itself. To date, I am very impressed. Granted it isn't perfect but it's pretty damned close. Acceptably accurate, even if you have to keep 'zero-ing' to obtain an accurate reading. The probes that are included are a tad slow when testing for Continuity, but this is down to the probes rather than the Tester. As such, if you're fussy, you may want to use some better-quality ones. Also, the included storage bag is a little soft and flimsy. It's better than nothing but a harder case would provide better protection..... Again, for the price, one can't really complain. I'm left-handed, so the trigger being situated on the left, works Very Well for me, whereas if I hold it in my right hand, I find it awkward to use the trigger but maybe you Right Handers, don't have that issue! All in all, a Very Nice bit of kit that is very handy...... Literally, as it sits very comfortably in one hand, is simple to use and view the readings which are very/acceptably accurate. Basically, Highly Recommended!!!

Nice solid feel, but I wouldn't think it would last too long being bumped off the bench onto a hard floor. This is the best amp clamp I could find for under £50, which was my budget, considering I already have a couple of traditional multimeters. I needed an amp clamp to measure current without breaking a circuit and voltage in cables where accessing terminals is difficult to reach and manage current spikes on load. You can read the spec for this and compare with other models in the UNI-T range, so won’t list spec here. It is easy to use and performs well, the clamp opens to about the width of your finger which is enough for small applications. Voltmeter is accurate down to 0.01V in the voltage range and 10mV in the millivolt range. Current is not as accurate. If you are measuring large current, the Amp range is acceptable but in the mA range, it could make difference depending on the component requirements, TV, computer, PSUs, other sensitive electronic circuits, but for general indicator for diagnostics this is good enough for the price. I do find the auto ranging function sometimes not performing at all, and sometimes taking a long time, sometimes having to constantly select the AC/DC switch or the rotary dial. I would like to see auto ranging for current without the need to select 2A and 20A, sometimes the meter struggles to display reading appropriately. I needed to see mA but the meter decided to display A range, removing my need to see current value to the accuracy I needed to measure, 0.01A could be anything from 100mA to 199mA and needing to determine 150mA made using this a bit difficult. I have not checked but other amp clamps in the range might perform better but I did not check and suspect the price would easily go over £50 I would also prefer the meter to either have a mechanical AC/DC switch or an AC/DC setting with memory, so not having to constantly switch to DC every time I switch the meter off or change the dial, because it always defaults back to AC.

A very good clamp meter. Tested thoroughly on DC low currents and seems quite accurate. Easy to use. Good display.

As an Auto-Electrician, I have been after an accurate AMP-Clamp for quite some time, although not as reliable as putting a meter in series, a reliable AMP-Clamp can save alot of time when carrying out initial fault finding. I have used expensive AMP-Clamps but their price from the likes of Fluke, MAC and Snapon, all have been either unable to read the required 0.001AMP range or far to expensive for the job intended. A Pico-Scope is the go to for accuracy but the hassle of setting the thing up for something as simple as a parasitic drain, doesn't warrant the extra time. My plan was to buy a relatively inexpensive AMP-Clamp, This is what I bought and these are my thoughts/results. Its absolutely awesome, after some testing, I would buy another in a flash. Again mainly used for parasitic drains, the basis of my testing was low current measurement. As with many clamps, zero the meter holding the clamp as close as possible and in the same direction of flow. The earths magnetic field can make fluctuations in readings, this meter coped very well. All tests were checked with my calibrated workshop meter. All tests were using DC. First test was 12v flowing through a 100 ohm resistor, {12/100 = 0.120} this would be read as 120ma, not mega low but a test neither the less. Result - Absolutely spot on (photo) Second test was a measurement of a 50ma Fan, the measurement I received from the clamp was 51ma, Still happy 3rd test was on an actual vehicle with a complaint of a battery drain. Usual drain would be under 15ma on this particular vehicle, I see alot of these cars too and parasitic drain are not uncommon, I must admit, this was the main factor for my buying this meter, in this case its an Aston Martin DB9. Results - Drain found - 100ma After removal of Parasite - 9ma Tested to be sure with a meter in series, all reading were correct, I now trust this meter. After some more tests, i found the meter to be very accurate at DC measurement, with the odd reading out by 1 or 2 ma at times. very much value for money, an improvement to the device would be to improve the back light, as you can see from the photos, its not great.

Very good in quality and price

Jag var ute efter en liten och smidig känslig tångamperemeter för likström. Denna var perfekt för mig och erbjuder dessutom en hel del andra värdefulla finesser.

Muy buen producto, no sabia que esperar de la funcion de amperimetro de gancho para corriente directa y funciono muy bien, ademas las demás funciones son muy rápidas, te da la lectura de resistencia y voltaje al instante.

Para el precio que tiene, es fantastica

I do construction and automotive work. I have expensive Fluke meters in the construction trailer and in my toolbox in the garage. I wanted an inexpensive meter with an AC and DC amperage clamp to carry in my truck for those times when you need a volt ammeter and aren't near your tools. I was impressed with the compact size, it has weight (not a cheap plastic housing) and readings compare closely to my expensive Fluke meters. So far within a few days of its arrival I successfully diagnosed a vehicle charging system problem, located an overload problem in a home electrical box and located a faulty home electrical outlet. The last one was what I was most impressed with using this meter. As you may know, when an electrical outlet fails you can lose power at multiple outlets or lights as the circuits run in series. With typical no contact voltage detecting pens (like Fluke) you can detect power but need to touch the wire or stick the tip in an outlet (which is great in a lot of situations). This meter has a built in non contact voltage detector (in the tip of the amp clamp). I was able to scan through the walls from 8 inches away and detect live AC wires (outlet to outlet, outlet to switches and switches to lights). The closer you get to the live wire the faster the meter beeps. I detected power to one outlet and no power leaving it. I removed the outlet from the wall and it was one of the cheap ones that the bare wire just pushes in the back. It had arced causing a burned spot and no power to the exiting wire. This alone only took a few minutes which paid for the meter itself in time savings!
