Review on OTC 3820 06 Low Amp Probe by Matthew Augustin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not suitable for measuring low currents

I bought this device to solve a problem that was causing my car battery to drain. The meter was found to be inaccurate below a few hundred mA as readings fluctuated by as much as 70mA depending on the physical orientation of the sensor. It appears to be influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. I haven't had this problem with the sensors I've used at work, so I suspect it's due to inadequate shielding.

Pros
  • Tools and equipment
Cons
  • Not sure
