any solution for the display sunlight? like used special tempered glass ?

Maybe refrigeration guys who work inside can benefit from some of the features without having to suffer over the display. And hey, since Kaweets sent it to you, they are likely interested in your review, and may change their display.

The Habotest seems downgraded in some aspects. probes are not the same as in Kaiweets that are heatresistant silicone variant.. on the Habotest HD208D its the most n4sty plastic variant you can get from eh CN fleemarket. also got the Habotest.. was on sale for 40 bucks. (euro) with incl. shipping and danish 25% VAT. but again 40 bucks with incl, VAT and shipping .. you really cant complain.. as it is quite a feature packed 1000A AC/DC clamp meter, just get some better leads if you plan to use it as a DMM. the voltage range is quite sensitive and easily picks up hz from just holding it near. not sure how fast the inrush is.. but recall something about 100ms but its needs a certain current load.. same if you want freqhz in the dual display and the same for the lower end of the margin ac/dc current with the clamp.. need a few hundred mA's

@@JAKOB1977 Feels to me like the meter is actually made by Habotest, and got rebranded and packed with better leads by Kaiweets. The Kaiweet and Habotest meters appear identical and both are called HT208D. Not KC208D. In fact, all Kaiweet's clamp meters but one are all called HT{something}, and identical to the ones Habotest has. The only difference is Habotest is still selling the cheaper older HT200D which is not on Kaiweet's website. Uni-T, Mastech, and Habotech are from Dongguan. Zoyi, CEM, Kaiweets are in Shenzhen. Mestech, Victor, and Aneng are in Guandong. It's a very high concentration. Of the 10 largest clamp/multimeter manufacturers in China, 8 of them are all in an area within 100 miles of each other.

No, that wouldn’t be my concern

The three 1.5 volt batteries contain much more energy than the nine volt battery. Without the constant backlight, this meter would run far longer than one powered from a nine volt battery. There will be no meaningful difference in the resistance testing range's capability. In both cases, the resistance testing circuit in a DMM operates at a very low voltage (about one volt) and at very limited current (usually a few tens of microamps maximum with the probes shorted).

The AA cells are much preferred over the usual 9V batteries. I'm happy they went with that as I don't like buying 9V batteries due to their high cost and low capacity.

@@sadfur8728 But this takes AAA batteries, not AA :(

@@DougWoodrow you're right, AAA is their trade-off for the size, but I still like them better than 9V for most everything. Only advantage to the 9V is that they don't tend to leak and corrode the contacts over long term use like alkaline AAA and AA batteries.

sure, magnet away to your hearts desire and give the finger to its hall sensor... who needs to clamp-feature on a clamp meter.

The 206D had a more usable display, so while most everything else was improved in going to the 208D, that was a step backwards just for the sake of impressing with pretty colors 😉

​@@sadfur8728 Mind you, can you give me some advice to buy HT 206D or 208D? I am quite confused about the fact that the 206d cannot measure the starting current and the 208D has a screen that cannot be seen outdoors.

​@@sadfur8728 i like the ht208d better but its screen is not visible outdoors and it drains the battery which worries me. Can you give me some advice?

@@nhathuyvo5257 battery life isn't really a concern since the AAA batteries last long enough and work with rechargeable cells, but if your main use is outside in sunlight, I'd skip it and get another model. I don't like the 206D because of the lack of range hold though, so I'd skip that one.

It’s cat 3 and 4
