KAIWEETS Digital Clamp Meter Multimeter with D-Shaped Jaw for AC/DC Current & Voltage, Auto-ranging 4000 Counts Voltage Tester with Flashlight Backlight, Measuring Temperature Continuity Diode NCV

This thing small and accurate. Bought it specifically for the DC clamp, but it now is the only one I carry

This Kaiweets HT206D clamp multimeter is great - I love it. For $48 it is a best buy. {{It competes well with my several hundred dollars Fluke multimeter. My biggest issue with Fluke is their probes are outrageously priced, but their meters are excellent.}} I have tested all functions, and it works very well. The clamping ammeter is a real plus. This is now my go-to meter for everyday projects. I like the fact that it uses two AAA batteries. I hate rechargeable anything and avoid them like the plague they are –always discharged when you need them most and you need to wait to recharge them. Not this meter – just slip in two new AAA batteries and you are good to go. Half the leads (mainly the fine pointed ones) that come with the meter, however, are crap and so is the optional Kaiweets 23-piece multimeter test lead kit. These have connectivity issues with either high ohms or ohms that continuously jump all over the place. They are held in place via a crimp and the conductivity is awful. The Kaiweets vendor replaced the 23-piece kit for me, but the replacement had the same conductivity issues. Save yourself time and aggravation, get a good lead set for this. I wasted a few weeks thinking the meter was bad when it was bad probes. These are the probes I ultimately settled on as excellent for this Kaiweets clamping multimeter: the Snakol 22-Piece Multimeter Test Lead Kit and the Bionso 25-Piece Multimeter Leads Kit - both at about the same price as the malfunctioning Kaiweets test probe kit. The main difference is the Snakol has longer probe handles which I like. I am using both sets, however. All the probes in these two sets have great conductivity and no issues and they fit the Kaiweets HT206D clamp multimeter. They give stable readings of 0-to-0.1-ohms. The main issue with these, however, is the probes need to be screwed into place with a wrench or needle nose pliers making changing probes more difficult. On the other hand, this is likely why they give such good conductivity. However, you can buy multiple sets so you can permanently set up the probes you use most frequently. Some of the other probes in the set are the plug-in type so they be changed easily and these have excellent conductivity as well. I find these two kits give me all the probes I need and more.

Item functions as designed. For being an after-market product, this meter is quite accurate. I’ve struggled with accurate inductive meters and was referred to this one and is living up to what it was sold to be. The display is very bright when needed, and very bold. Easy to read and understand. Only gripe that I have is, when reading a test results, the reading stands to fluctuate? Possible meter issue? Or circuits I am measuring? Not so sure, nevertheless does what is needed.

good solid product and good value

This a solid meter. I am very pleased with the build quality and feel. I haven't used it a lot yet so I can't report on the reliability. The function dial feels solid as well. the probes are nice and have extra protection sleeves for the tips that snap on. The storage back fits everything without overcrowding. There are a couple more versions of this from this manufacture if you want a bit more precision, but this should work well for most home owners.

Update I'd have had 5 of these now for about 9 months and they are wonderful! One of the 5 is having a problem with the selector switch leaving the screen blank. Will return. With the one except all functions work perfectly and it's such a better design! Well this is amazing! For $29.99 I just received the best designed clamp meter that I've ever owned! First thing is that it defaults to DC volts when you put it to the volt position. Second thing is the screen is easy to read and with one button has a bright backlight. Third thing is I just timed the auto off function and it's about 20 minutes! It is so infuriating that all of these high-tech expensive voltmeters shut themselves off in about 2 or 3 minutes and I have to turn it back on again and while I'm using it. The most impressive feature is that it is a DC clamp meter as well as an AC clamp meter. This is very unusual. Almost all clamp meters are AC but in order to get a DC clamp meter you usually have to spend a lot more money. I also very much like the fact that the test leads plug into the bottom rather than the front. This allows you to store the cords in the case without having it take up space. It also has a small button on the right side to hold readings in case the meter is in a location you can't actually see the screen when you're taking a reading. Another unusual feature is that it does measure Hertz. Very impressed!

Works great and cannot beat the price.

I needed a clamp on meter capable of DC amps anywhere in the vicinity of 0.5 a to 50 amps. While I found in the advertisement that the meter had a 60 amp and a 600 amp scale, nowhere on Amazon could I find the minimum amperage this meter could detect ( ie, would it even indicate 0.5 amps). I bought it on the hope that it would. On the 60 amp scale, the device displays two decimals, so in theory a current of 0.01 amp could be detected. I would not however buy it to read this low of a current, as I would be highly suspect of the accuracy at this low level. I would say the very lowest dc current this can reliably detect is 0.1 amp or 100 madc. Decent meter. I wouldn’t consider it “standards” grade, but a lot of features for home owner use.
