I'd like to kick in a recomendation for extech
|
From everything I've heard, Fluke would be hard to beat, but my Extech AC/DC Digital Clamp Meter with temperature probe, has been quite satisfactory for me. I gave $165 for it on 4/21/1990. It fell off the tractor once and popped the case open when it hit the ground, but no damage; just closed it back up and it was good as new. I did replace the temperature lead a few years ago. I'm afraid the original got folded and unfolded until it broke the wire inside the insulation.
And Chris, you would have loved it when one of my neighbors tried to check the voltage on an air-conditioner and made lots of sparks and smoke. It turned out he had an "engine analyzer" for automobile use; 12 volt DC. 230 volts of AC got interesting results.
