Proster Digital Clamp Meter 6000 Count - 800A DC AC Current AC/DC Voltage Multimter, TRMS NCV Continuity Capacitance Resistance Frequency Diode Hz Tester, with Test Leads, Alligator Clips

This meter is amazing for the price. It has a lot of different test options, the little alligator clips that come with it are a nice little bonus for vehicle testing when you can’t hold the leads, and having the amp clamp is a good added option. It works really well and the readings are easy to see and understand unlike my last meter. You can’t compare it to the high end models that you can get but for the price it’s worth having because like me, most people aren’t using this daily but when you need it, it’s there and it’s convenient. So far I love having this meter and would definitely recommend it, especially for people that work on vehicles

I needed to make some DC clamp-on current measurement around a few Amps. This meter only has one current range, 0-600A, so I had some concern. Mine showed an offset of -4.5A before zeroing, which is not at unusual for this type of measurement. I checked it on a test setup with a power supply, load, and Fluke DVM all in series. This meter agreed with the Fluke over the range I tested from 0.5 to 5A. The manual says the wire should be centered in the jaws. I move the wire around to all extremes in the jaws and it had no effect on the reading at the current levels I was testing. It also agreed with the Fluke exactly on voltage and resistance measurements. I wound up making measurements down to the 0.1A resolution level of the meter. The instructions say it's best to clamp the meter on the wire with the current off, zero the meter, and then turn on the current. I couldn't control the current independently so put the jaws near the wire, zeroed the meter, and then clamped it on. It worked well. One way to check is to flip the meter over and check the current again. If the measurements agree to within 0.1A with the sign reversed, you're good. With the supplied, leads, thermocouple temp probe, alligator clips and case, it's an amazing value. It even includes a tiny Philips driver for the battery door. The one thing it should include and doesn't is a magnifying glass to read the incredibly tiny print in the manual

It is very cheap in price for what it is, but it does work well so far. The construction needs to be some better. It is clear that it would be easy to damage. So, if you need a cheap amp meter that will work for you, just be careful when using it and you might use it for some years.

I bought it to do use for DC Amps while working with lithium batteries on a Ebike. The digital display changes fast enough to get the maximum current on acceleration. Just what I was looking for I've used it about a week and it's working so far.Update: I've used it for a month so far. Working great. It can also measure A/C capacitors to see if they're starting to go bad before they ruin your motors. You can measure the current on the compressor and the fan on your air conditioner to see if they're going bad. Great meter with a lot of functions. Very good buy.

I can be very cheap some times and had put off buying a clamp on amp meter for years. Now that I have one I use it all the time.This little meter works great. I have compared its accuracy with readings off the fancy shunt-based battery monitor on my boat and find it agrees perfectly. It even seems to be reasonably accurate for very small readings down to about 1 amp. I have not tested it below that level.

Got one of these several years ago to measure DC current in addition to the usual. Do not know where it walked off to. Did not over work it but who knows. Easy choice based on past use. Will keep an eye out for budding legs.

Well made,works great. My husband loves it.

The contacts in the probe connectors are not securely fixed, such that the contact rotates within the plastic and causes the wire to break off internally.The meter itself is functional but lacks any kind of protection against overvoltage or dust.Other notable things include that the meter beeps when turned on, defaults to DC measurements, and the screen backlight turns off after 30 seconds.
