Small is so excited!

Ok... I bought CL390, CL900 and then decided on this one. Why so much? Because there are so many and it is not easy to compare them! Each lacks the feature I wanted and the top of the line CL900 lacked the probe holder. It went right back. In addition, the model was massive. So it was the best compromise, not the best gauge. Heck, just make one of everything and I'll buy it. This works well and also tested the capacitor that is important to me. Unlike a rating it will tell you if the circuit is

Pros
  • Thermocouple probe measures temperature
Cons
  • Some cons

What interested me most was the DC (high) current capability of this meter in automotive applications. I blew my 20A wire in a very high voltage, low current gas ignition circuit a long time ago and replaced it with this one. I also have small tools for everyday use - volts, ac (clamp), continuity and ohms. This one seems accurate in DC ampere ratings, but I can't stress this enough. READ THE MANUAL. It has many useful features and feature tips that I initially missed. I tend to toss the book…

Features and Comparison

This is an excellent meter in terms of both form and function. The appearance is very durable. The plastic parts feel very solid and there's a rubberized coating on the sides and dial. The dial and buttons are solid and feel very premium. I'm not an electrician, I flip houses for a living. From time to time I need a gauge to check my car's HVAC condenser, fuse integrity, blown breaker or alternator. I owned a Klein MM6000 for a very short time about a year ago. It seemed like a great gauge and…

Pros
  • Low Impedance (LoZ) mode to identify and eliminate spurious or parasitic voltages
Cons
  • Minor problems
