Reliable and sturdy clamp

This clamp is a game-changer for measuring and layout projects. Through trial and error, I found that it securely grips wires and cables without damaging them .This gave me more control while working on tricky electrical installations. The Lockjaw feature made measuring a breeze, and I always got accurate readings. Overall, an excellent tool to keep in any electrician`s kit..

Pros
  • Sturdy and reliable clamp, secure grip on wires and cables
Cons
  • None noted.

No user manual included. Environmentally hazardous product.

If you need an instruction manual for this tool and you need it, you will need to print it yourself. Of course, printing a manual alone requires more energy and resources than having the company integrate it into the product. This environmentally harmful practice should be avoided whenever possible. I probably used 4 times as much paper to print out the manual, not them to include it. With the counter itself, everything is fine. Product made in China.

Pros
  • Locking jaw feature prevents abuse - jaws only open when dial is set to amps
Cons
  • Minor issues
