DC clamp meter recommendation

Looking for an accurate but inexpensive DC clamp meter. Suggestions?

Thanks.
  • I purchased mine on eBay. About 33 dollars. Has a 40 amp and a 400 amp DC and AC setting. The 40 amp digital scale is quite accurate to a tenth of an amp. I calibrated tested it against a 400 lab grade Manganin shunt. I also got a lithium 9 volt battery for it. The models with the 40 amp selection seem seem to be different only by the labels plastered on them. No more 100 dollar meters for me. The drop snd break. They get ruined by hurricanes or grow legs and run off down the street.
  • Boon Docker, have you personally used the meter your post linked?
    Also see 3 DC clamp meter at Harbor Freight but not sure of the wuality.
    Thanks
