Review on Klein Tools CL700 Autoranging Digital Clamp Meter: TRMS 600Amp, AC/DC Volts, Current + More – Review & Features by Jaleel Akuffo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great warranty experience

Lemon was first. The temperature was always measured 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit above the actual temperature. This feature wasn't very important to me, so I gave it up. After about a year I got an "OL" error every time I tried to check the AC voltage. I've tried 24V and 240V - same thing every time. So I went to Klein's website to look at the warranty claim. It was very easy and in less than two weeks I had a brand new meter. No questions, no hassle. Structurally it is solid. Really good feeling doing it and you can tell it's tough. The dial has a nice rubberized grip and is easy to use with one hand. Functionally, I'm very happy with it. I wanted Fluke because it is Fluke. I've done a lot of research and it seems that Fluke's biggest advantages are speed and a bit more reliability. I'm not an electrician, don't do any checking or finishing work and mainly use it at home and in the yard. For my purposes, Klein's MUCH lower price tipped the scales for Klein, not Fluke.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
