Review on πŸ”§ KCH10 Magnetic and Hanger Strap for Multimeter Meter Hanging Hang Kit - TestHelper by Dave Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hold's 87v is good at a great price

Received December 12, 2019. $13.23 after tax. It seems to be holding up. on the switch box doesn't seem to move when my Fluke 87v is plugged in. If I hold my 87v level with the magnet and drop it, the magnet moves 2 inches. But after that it doesn't seem to crawl anymore. I think this will be enough for my app and I don't know if the official one is much stronger? When my 87v was secured to the side of the fridge it slid a few millimeters and then didn't seem to move. . The side of the refrigerator was much smoother than the switch box. Compared to the official magnet, there is no quick lock in the clip. But I'll keep it attached even if I put it in my suitcase. If you have a lot of gauges and want to swap clamps, this can be a disadvantage. But not for me and my application. I will update if the strap quality deteriorates. *** Updated December 19th. Fluke's official clamp manufacturer said their clamp would also move a bit in the same test as I did. So the strength of the magnet seems to be comparable. ***FYI, an official magnet can wrap around a nonmagnetic pole and stick to itself. If you can't find anything magnetic to attach it to. This is another advantage of the official. But for less than 1/3 the price and I don't see it as a problem in my situation. That shouldn't be a problem for me.
