Handheld amp/volt meter

Tripp Lite (been making hand held meters since dirt was made) has a mini clamp on meter that I have been wanting. Amprobe AMP-25 I am sure it is a little more expensive but I'd trust this maker before most others except Fluke.

I'd love to have a $300 Fluke clampon but can't justify it for my usage.

I bought this one back in February It was $124.95 back in Feb. Good reviews

Yup, decent meter for the price. Don't spark it or put anything over a 10 amp draw on it, you'll get sticker shock when you have to replace the stock fuses.

FWIW, I found cheaper fuses that work with this series Fluke meters and your post reminded me mine are blown again. That's another $10 mistake but the stock fuses from Fluke are $50. At least there are fuses to replace, though.

I do not want to dig it out just now to get the model but I have a Crafstman (Sears) Clamp on AC/DC ampmeter (yes it measures DC amps with the clamp)

I think it was around 60-70 bucks when I got it, Not that long ago.

I have many meters but that is the high current DC one. one Clamp on AC (Horrible Freight) and several assorted no clamp ranging from Free at HF to around 250 dollars (Had I paid full price) Somedays.. I just need quality.

The digital clamp on meter I purchased from BANGGOOOD.COM for $38 has a surprising 39.99 ampere dial selection. The accuracy so far is nothing short of amazing. Full scale setting is 400.0 amperes

Hi, Was telling DW what I was looking for and what I needed it for so while in town getting her stuff, she picked up a "Klein" multi-meter at Home Depot. It measures up to 10 amps, if it don't work, I can take it back. I'll try to chase down my parasites tomorrow if it quits raining !!!. Thanks to all who helped. Dan

Oh Mex - I got such a big laugh out of that URL typo - But some others maybe not so much???
