/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Ok... now that I got a halfway decent regular multimeter, I’m onto the clamp meter idea. But I really want one that reads DC Amps as well. Thinking about automotive in this case as well as so much of the stuff that runs off an AC adapter.

There’s one on Amazon for around $45 but like 80% of the reviews are “This thing is great for the money!” and the other 20% are “This doesn’t work at all!”

I’m really thinking about HF on this one but goddamn I hate spending over $30 on anything electronic there because of the 90 day warranty. This 600A AC/DC model (2nd from right in pic) has great reviews though. Home Depot’s website has a 600A Klein or Extech for around $120, and I saw a 400A Extech for $85.

Any thoughts?
