How is it doing for you now Signguy? I think i'll choose this Kaiweets over the Uni-T210E i have been looking at!!!

@@ghibliinu6616 still doing good no problems highly recommended

very good like it!

It could be that the author did not REL out the impedance of the test wires.

yes it is defensibly decent enough no doubts

Enjoyed your excellent video on this meter too Atom!!!

Thanks for the kind words!

@@TRXLab I hope one day to have a chat with you on the air. That would really be nice. Take care my friend, stay safe and be healthy.

Have no 208 on hand...

A 208D may be slightly better than the 206D but you cannot compare them because the 208D is more than double the price of a 206D.

The biggest benefit is the addition of the range lock button, called RAN instead of RNG, which would have been a better choice of abbreviation.

While the color video display is flashier looking and a plus if you're inclined to always be working in the dark, the 206D is more easily visible under all conditions, particularly out in sunlight, which renders the 208D display measurements nearly invisible. However, the only real deficiency of the 208D lies in the design of the min max. It can only toggle between display of min or max, and won't show the current reading. I was surprised they did it that way, considering how well designed everything really about it was. Usual implementation of min max allows display of the ongoing readings, and additionally an average reading as well, in case you don't trust your own eyeballing the numbers. Maybe they just felt it better to simplify by having only two displays to cycle through instead of four. Niggling details might also be the battery door and screw, which could have been done with a self latching slide or clip on design, with a captive screw just as backup. As it is, the screw has to be used because the door falls off otherwise, and the screw is free to get dropped and lost if you fumble it during a battery change. The draw on the batteries is probably mostly from the display, which cannot be turned off or dimmed if using it for extended periods like a min max measurement, where it's pointless to look at the display except at the very end anyway. Current measurement mode draws slightly more current than the other modes, so don't use that mode if you're only turning it on to use the flashlight 😉 Don't know what the run time of the 208D batteries are, but I'd guess it's over 50 hours. Likely longer on the 206D, but I can't find mine to make that measurement, misplaced it somewhere. If you can save up the lunch money to spring for the far more capable 208D, you'd be much better off.

@@hwingerrr5680 if they changed the 208D display back to the old style used on the 206D and add an ongoing measurement display to the min max mode, it'd be perfect.

Thank you!

good product indeed

Thanks for stepping in my friend!

yes it is defiantly worth the money. Thanks for feed back

Thank you!

yes that is true...

Thank you

sure! Thanks for feed back

;-)

The 208D has upgraded features that make it worth the added cost; it's going to be negligible over the long term, and the range lock, better test leads etc make it worthwhile.

I'm curios are you satisfied with it...

@@TRXLab Yes the ames works good. The only thing different I would have done is buy the next grade up with a larger display.

ah okay will have a look on that..

Thanks for the tip- the 208D looks good (but more expensive). No wonder the price of the HT206D seems to have just dropped.

@@alandaters8547 if you can handle the larger size, it's definitely worth the modest increase in price, even if the 206D were starting at a base price of zero. 😉 If a 210D comes out, I don't know if there's that much more to add on top of the 208D to make another model, aside from fixing some of the design details.

@@hwingerrr5680higher counts

Thank you

part II: today the Uni-T 210E arrived. Just checking, but a few facts: -only 2.000 counts - up to 100A (2A / 20A / 100A) with Zero-function - TrueRMS - Capacity, Ohms, Frequency - „Beeper“ - DC & AC Voltage - Hold funcitionality - a very good V.F.C function - Display Backlight very compact vy 73 Jens

you are right but with my UNI-T it does not really work on current.

yes I agree that would be a useful variant for Kaiweets

As I said in the video this meter does not have a certified inrush current feature..

@@TRXLab who certifies the inrush current measurement? Does a lab or someone define the conditions under which the measurement is made and certifies it to be accurate?

exactly! I use the Uni-t meter a lot and the "REL" button is basically the zeroing one. A must for DC.

Exactly. It is quite unfortunate when somebody compares two instruments, but have no clue how to operate one of them. The UNI-T is very accurate as soon as you remove the offset by pressing REL/Delta buton. Makes me wonder if it was intentional as it is hard to believe that an experiences EE knows how the new instrumet can be zeroed, but pretends he does not know how to do it on his own instrument. Probably a bias due to some business interest.

@@medvidekkrupicka1404 is that like a paid review?

Looks like a defect..

Thanks for watching

The 208D has the range lock feature that this 206D is missing, and overall is improved in almost all respects. The only con is daylight readability of the display, where the 206D is superior.

The range adjustment is automatic. The main purpose for a clamp meter is not DC Volt testing just to mention ..

@@TRXLab wow thanks it was driving me insane

Thanks for watching

Danke für deine Rückmeldung! Das Gerät gibt es auch aus anderen Quellen aber wenn ich fragen darf was ist mit Amazon?

@@TRXLab Ist einfach nicht mein Fall das Unternehmen.

Maybe not one at a time, but they can measure 10,000 of them all in one shot 😉

What kind of accuracy are you looking for in a pair of pliers?

@@wingerrrrrrrrr In the past, I used the ANENG ST209 pliers. This type of DC current measurement error is too much

@@c__TattinhNhi there are current probes with better accuracy down at the low end of currents if that's what you're looking to measure. These clamp meters with the range of hundreds of amps are operating in the noise region with such low currents, so lower accuracy is expected. They're never going to be absolutely accurate, even with a loose definition of absolute.

@@wingerrrrrrrrr yes, thank you for making me understand

No. 10 miliamps is the lowest.

Might be different warranties

No not a Benning

Looked up a Benning DMM, the 26 position rotary dial design is the most I've ever seen. That's like a stick shift car in a sea of automatics 🙃

wow that is a very complex issue which can't be answered with only a few sentences...

Why not what do you think could happen?

LOL... why not? In my younger years, I used to handle cables carrying over 1000A at 28.5VDC... multiple times a day. Every day. With my hands right on them... you could feel and watch them jump when the load was applied.

@@BKD70 was the concern the cable can jump and knock someone out hitting them on the head? Otherwise there's really more danger measuring voltage on a household outlet than using a clamp meter to measure 28V at 600A.

Go for it buddy... why don't you show us how it's done???

I liked it how it was done.

I'd bet an arm against your statement. It is 100% CAT III. European CE label is not a funny joke! Any product has to go for a certified type approval. If you as manufacturer would fake those labeling the European market surveillance would immediately find out and stop the product from selling. Additional to that it is a criminal act which would cost the manufacturer credibility and a lot of penalty payment.

@@TRXLab Dear Peter. I thing that this time is your trust for CE labeling a little bit overestimated. Also mobile phone chargers have this same label and you know that they are not safe. Capacitor dropping, not enough insulation between transformer vindings, etc. Same stuff as European BIO label, wich allow meny toxic substances in a grow-conservation process.

Well it is not the required and accredited procedure to be compline with the market rules it is rather more fraud and yes you are right there is fraud withe the CE label but if you require a constant market entry you simply can't risk to get blocked.

​@@TRXLab You underestimate what Chinese sources will do. Kaiweets?!? Come on. If *they* get busted, the label just gets changed to some other random string. Introducing: the Ubgertts clamp meter! I'm not saying this *isn't* up to par...just that there's a good chance of it.
