BSIDEACM92 DC Current Clamp Meter True RMS 6000 Counts Digital Multimeter Amp Continuity Ohm Hz Live Check V-Alert Voltage Tester with Back Clip

A good all round handy meter, easy to use at a great price.

Bought this as a cost effective device to check earth leakage on badly configured CU that was tripping all the time. It gives an indication of unbalance, but it seems to be way to high to be accurate. Normal single wire AC current seems to be reliable. DC current readings are useful but again, as another reviewer noted, vary quite alot on small currents.The 'Live' check needs the operator to hold the unit as it appears to require a capacitive earth connection - like the neon testers but with a less tingly current! IE you can't use the probe and leave the unit on the bench.The extra flanges for holding the probe for 'Live' testing can get in the way in tight spaces. I may have to cut them down...Overall, though, nice tool for the price.

Small Easy to use, and seems to be pretty accurate....Impressed with AC & DC capability, assume it must be a hall effect device.Impressed with the resolution of 1mA ..... (fsd 6A) .The AC accuracy is ±(2.5%+5) which is pretty good for a clamp on !!

You can always get AC clip ons for a reasonable price but to find a DC one at this price is pretty good. I like the fact that it has probe holder built in too like the expensive one my company bought me. The accuracy is good as well for a sub £100 meter. Definitely worth buying if you check a lot of DC current like in automotive, electronics etc.

Having read alot of reviews oin this producxt I thought I would add mine.I bought this to measure DC current on the low end.The first thing I did when this clamp meter came through the door was to test the meter and the photo says it all. The meter once zero`d with the wire in place and no power going through it was accurate to within 1mA which I thought was amazing for the price.I carried out a further 5 or 6 tests at various current settings between 50mA and 700mA and all were more than acceptable (+/-2mA).You can`t go wrong with this product.One caveat I should mention, I have not measured the accuracy of any of the other features as I`m really only interested in the clamp current.

Bought this mainly to help diagnose parasitic battery drains in cars, boats and tractors. Most clamp meters at this price do not have a low DC current function. Useful on more modern vehicles and the simple act of disconnecting the battery to put a standard multimeter in series with one of the battery terminals wakes up ECUs on the vehicle and causes a higher current draw, meaning you have to wait (sometimes for long time) to get the car to power down and give you a baseline current reading. Using this clamp meter avoids that issue as you don’t need to disconnect the battery. I found it to be fairly accurate, certainly good enough to pick up 50 milliamp (or even less) draws and help me locate which module or system on a vehicle is not shutting down and draining the battery. I also use it on my cheap stick welder to set the current for welding thin (1mm or less) steel box section The cheap inverter welder readout is not accurate, with this clamped around the stinger lead I can dial in 20 or 30 amps and know it's correct. Would recommend this clamp meter for the money, I’m glad to have it.

Dose what I need for. On Accuracy I can't comment but do like it.

At nearly £50 I presumed this would be good. It arrived promptly but did not work displaying either nothing or a backlight only or a frozen display that did not register voltage when turned on. Item returned.
