Tiny meter is like a toy but measures well except for DC amps

I didn't realize how tiny this thing is until I got it. It is so tiny compared to an industrial counter. The meter measures well in wired measurement mode but has many variations in current clamp mode. The reading varies by 5% depending on the position of the wire in the terminal. Normally the center of the clamp should be the calibrated spot, but the reading was closest to the actual value when the wire was near the tip of the clamp. Overall I wasn't happy with the size and accuracy of the current readings, but overall for the price you really can't complain too much. This would be a great beginner meter - hey, I would have been more than happy with this when I first started electronics.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • boring packaging
