Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Advanced AstroAI Digital Clamp Meter 2000 Counts: Multimeter Amp Meter with Auto Ranging for Voltage, AC Current, Resistance, Continuity & Diode Testing by Justin Guldin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works but autoranging is annoying

Good inexpensive multimeter. Good enough that I didn't return it, not good enough to buy again. As far as I can tell, it's accurate, relatively easy to use, and can measure current. And now the worst. Voltage readings are automatically selected and you cannot turn this off. You may be wondering, "why is that a problem?" My answer is, if you're trying to verify that a circuit has power, this meter will almost always give you a reading because it's very sensitive. So if you see 0.120V it looks like the circuit is live, but you should look closely at that small value. In the corner it says the reading is 1/8 volt, not 120 volts. On the contrary, it's easy to mentally add that point and think you've turned off a circuit that's still live. The only other annoyance is that the probe cover is poorly attached. When you insert probes into a reader socket, sometimes the plastic comes loose when you try to remove them.

Pros
  • SAFETY FEATURE: Transformer terminals detect AC current flowing through the conductor, increasing the safety and performance of this multimeter.
Cons
  • socket required.
