Sorry in my video I was incorrect about the price, it moves around but it's usually not as low as $80

Here's the less expensive meter I show in this video
amzn.to/2UKpGRL Innova 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter

Good video friend thanks for show us this video I think Klein clamp meter is a good choice not too expensive compared with fluke or other brands and make the work

The co duct or needs to be in the middle of the clamp. It’s got a 1% +- in the middle and a 2%+- on the outside as per the manual.

ur sposed to line ur wire perpendicular to the two arrows on each clamp arm

Yes! This is important. The wire should be held in the center of the clamp loop, not touching the clamp arms, and held straight & perpendicular to the clamp ring to get the rated accuracy of the meter.

Thank you! I really appreciate the comment. If I make another video I'll be sure to measure with the wire centered, straight, and perpendicular.

Thanks for this review but you are comparing the Klein clamp meter accuracy against an Innova multimeter which, frankly, is not known to be all that accurate. Not sure which is the most accurate.

My CL800 reads 2 to 3 amps on DC setting when there is nothing in it or a disconnected wire. Seems to read all right when current flows. Any explanation for the "phantom" reading?

You have to align the clamp so the wire passes through it in alignment with the (+) on the entry and (-) on the exit.

I just got a CL700 today and am very disappointed because the reading is so huge for the AC amp draw at 35.5-37 when the knob was turned to amp setting when checking the draw for a space heater with 1,500 watts. I knew the amp draw should be around 12 amp but this reading is either way off or something isn't right. I'll return my Klein Tools CL700 back to Home Depot. I've learned that you don't need a multimeter with 600 amp capability because you'll never use a device drawing that much amp and such capability that high will compromise other functions, such as in my case.
@davereed6612
@davereed6612 2 жыл бұрын
Unless you had it on max amp setting, then you measured inrush current? 12.5 amps is only the running amp draw not the inrush. I own both Klein cl900 a fluke 177 a fluke 87v and a fluke 377fc all are close to each other.

Made it to 1:59...You wouldnt use the clamp to measure miliamps, you would use the leads and interrupt the circuit.

Those caps are ur safety CAT IV keep em for when you dick around on big stuff. I have the CL450 and I haven't figured a way to measure DC amps on A~ yet or using the clamp but that's ok i bought it for dickering around with AC single/3 phase motors. The K-type input connecter purchase fucking sucks so bad! I don't know if it's the leads or the machine but it's unacceptable. Line splitter is a must

A bit late for this comment but, the Klein is a True RMS meter and the Innova isn't. The meters shouldn't share the same readings.

Sorry but really poor video. 1) You said the clamp meter is "off"...how do you know the $20 Innova meter isn't "off". 2) You stated you can't use the wire leads to measure amperage as if that's a drawback. That's whole point of a clamp meter. NO small multimeter can measure amperage beyond about 10 amps because it will melt the wires. These tools are designed to measure current running through 00 or 4-0 wire not USB level currents.

You don’t know which meter is off because you have to Test, each one individually not at the same time. Also, take your clamp meter and test it and non-clamp mode.
