Clamp Meters anyviews on this one?

[lw395]

I have something similar only a known, middling brand (Isotech).
I don't use it often but it has paid for itself in diagnosing a couple of alternators and a starter motor.
For starter motors and similar, a good 'max hold' function is worth having.

Trying to resolve a problem at present and wondered if this meter was any good?

It’s not the cheapest I could find, but it is not in the category of Fluke or Kew meters either which are in the hundreds of pounds bracket due to their accuracy and build quality?

Has anyone any experience of them, good or bad?

Bought the same on eBay from Hong Kong a year ago... About £25 or so. Works really well.... Showed me the amps in and out of the batteries, until I got a NASA BM-2 monitor.

Just for the record.
The OP already has Smartgauge battery monitor.
He explained in one of his earlier threads that he wanted to add a simple ammeter because the Smartgauge does not measure current.
