OK youz guys.

Recommend me a good clamp meter that's not going to bust the bank I don't need a Fluke. I have realized that a clamp meter would be very handy right about now ( relative to my innova multimeter )

Thanks!

This one gets good reviews?

The Chinese meters change all the time, add features, new company names for the same meter, etc. I tend to just get the lowest cost one with the features I want unless the reviews trash it. The assumption being that this is going to sit in the rpod tool case and get only occasional use, rather than be a go to daily use tool.

This one looks interesting. DC current, capacitance, temperature, non contact feature, various probe sets, 6000 counts..

I got this Klein meter for about $65, and have been very happy with it.

HVAC tech was using this one today. I think I bought him another one.

Don't get that one, it doesn't have DC current capability. HVAC techs don't need it but rpod owners do.
