One thing a clamp on couldn't do is Salvo's way of measuring R on a long wire.
You extend one lead of your multimeter with 30 feet of speaker wire and an alligator clamp on the end of that, then you put that on one end and the other probe on the end where you are thirty feet away so now you can read the voltage off the meter display. You get your current from the Trimetric for what is on that wire (such as from the DC panel battery lugs to the batteries) Then you calculate your R.
Then you post that R and get into fight over spelling Mohms, ohms, and mohms depending on decimal points or the time of day or whatever :)
