KAIWEETS HT208D Inrush Clamp Meter 1000A True RMS AC/DC Current Amp Meter, VFD, LOZ Mode, 6000 Counts, Measures Current Voltage Temperature Capacitance Resistance Diodes Continuity Duty-Cycle

The accuracy is spot on with my fluke meters as far is voltage measurement and amperage reading. It does use a bidirectional clamp so you can tell amperage going in or out. the included t probe is not bad it gets the job done but we will see how long it lasts. the screen is easy to read and is nice and bright in dark places. The NC voltage sensing is a bit over sensitive for my taste but that's not the primary use for this and the flash light has come in handy. Overall they hit a home run on this meter both in functionality and price if your just going to carry one meter I'd suggest this one. The included probes are good but I would pick up a lead kit as it makes life easier haveing clamps and other ends

Great for automotive use! Reads down to 10miliamps, and its within about 10ma of my Snap On DVOM. Definitely accurate enough for draw tests on DC.

This is a nice meter, good size, good manual, 3 Yr. warranty, easy to grip, seems high quality, easy to use, lots of functions, nice probes, has a temp probe too. The biggest problem is you can't read the display in full sunlight. I tried to use it to monitor the current of my house, and the main breaker panel is on the south side of my house, can't see the display in bright sunlight. Even shading the display with one hand makes it barely readable. Indoors, the display is very nice, color, viewing angle OK. The clamps are quite large so they are hard to get them around the cables in a full electrical panel with lots of wire. Also the default on current and voltage measurements is DC, I would prefer AC which I'd use it for most of my testing, but that's just my preference. I'd be interested to know if someone has compared it to the Klein AC/DC clamp meter of about the same price.

For weeks I've been trying to figure out why a 1200W inverter couldn't start up a 500W window A/C. I tried all combinations of suppressors, batteries, cables, etc. and suspected the inrush on the A/C itself was very high. Within the first 30 minutes of owning this meter I had the problem figured out. Inrush current measured around 20A which (just barely) exceeded the 2400W surge capability of the inverter. Mystery Solved! I've been doing non-invasive surge and A/C current measurements in combination with a Tacklife line splitter and learning all sorts of things about the appliances in my home and shop. It is helping me balance outlets, breakers and wiring in a way I hadn't before. Some reviewers complain about the minimum 10A current needed to trigger the inrush measurement on this meter. I found a way around this. The Tacklife has two loops, 1x and 10x. Buy clamping the meter in the 10x loop I am able to get good results between 2-10 amps. Very nice meter, much less expensive than the Fluke 375 and UEi DL489, two other meters I considered.

Great meter, reasonable price. Does everything you you need it to.

There is very little this clamp meter can't do. The leads are nice but I also got a different set with attachments I use on circuit boards. The only negative is the live voltage detector, it's so sensitive as to be useless, it could have just been left off, I think most people use separate sniffers for that anyway. Also the screen is harder to read in the sun but I haven't used it in the sun so it hasn't been an issue. If I have to I think I can deal with it.

I was in the market for a meter. My current meter was 20 years old and the lcd display was fading. Working on motorcycles I needed a clamp meter that I could measure inrush currents to test starters. This meter supports both ac and dc currents. What i like about it - large backlite display - build quality was there - internals looks good too, there are several youtube reviews with a deep dive into the internals of the meter. - nice leads, seemed strong and secures tight into the meter - three year warranty - sale price for about 1/2 price of other meters I originally was going to buy the Harbor Freight Ames model. Ames unit is identical in features etc but the leads were cheap and it only carried a 90 day warranty. For. $35 more you could buy a 2 year warranty but now you’re in for $135 and one less year in warranty. Plus the carrying case is much cheaper for the Ames versus the semi hard case with this unit.

Dim display. It did brighten up for a short while, but returned to poor. Another reviewer mentions there's a backlit display version, but that wasn't apparent. The Hold button is in an annoying location and too easy to press unintentionally. There is no lead current measurement capability, so forget milliAmps. Doesn't measure capacitance. The Probes don't terminate in banana plugs, so alternate tips are limited. This brand does sell a lead set with interchangeable tips for a good price. Not sure if other brand tips might fit. The dial selector is not as smooth rotating as the high quality brands. This is my precursory impression, but the unit is limited as a primary DVOM.

I was looking for a honest and reliable clamp meter. After watching many detailed reviews I have decided to buy this one. Very good quality, measurements are within spec range, not exactly a fan of AAA batteries but they seem to last a while. Screen looks very nice, unfortunately can be hard to read outdoors in sunny conditions. I'm very satisfied with my new toy 🙂

This Kaiweets HT208D clamp meter is extremely SOLID. And extremely good value. The dial works well. The display is fantastic. The meter has very good features for AC and DC and it wasn't too bad to learn how to use it for a non-electrician. While the In Rush function is supposed to be for AC current only, I've seen YouTube reviewers say it also works for DC current, though this is not in the user manual. A Tip: To best use the InRush function, also buy an AC Line Splitter to use for measuring appliance/motor InRush current, as otherwise, you would need to split the cable to be measured, as the clamp is supposed to ONLY go around 1 wire, the hot wire and not 2 or 3 wires as in Hot, Neutral and Ground together. Kaiweets does not seem to sell an AC line splitter, which IMO they should. Klein has a nice small one but it has no price on the Amazon.ca site. The dual position line splitters can be unwieldy to use in some outlets, as it falls out due to being long and then having the appliance plugged in to the far end, while the Klein line splitter is smaller, grounded and is less prone to fall out of the outlet. Using a line splitter means you still only measure the hot wire and so you do not have to cut into and damage your cable to get at the single hot line/wire. Measuring AC and DC current with the clamp is a breeze and voltages with the beefy but soft and pliable and very good silicone wire and probes makes it a great multi use meter and especially so for solar and off grid use. The clamp easily fits around 4/0 cable and accurately measured DC Current, as well as AC Current. Measuring appliance or motor AC InRush is a HUGE help as not all off grid inverters, especially low cost High Frequency inverters that don't use big heavy transformers, can handle high inrush currents and the inverter sellers and some manufacturers don't tell you this and over hype their inferior products. This meter will tell you what the appliance / motor inrush current is so you can ask the inverter manufacturer if the info is not in the specs. The 2 cons for some may be that the display is apparently difficult to read in bright light outdoors and the flashlight is blocked by the clamps so isn't all that useful. Oh and it has a useful NCV function via the clamp sensor that works well though and reports on the display, by sound and by a Red or Green LED. As well, there are 2 pots inside that can be used to calibrate voltage readings to fine to meter. It also displays an ambient temperature reading in the display in some modes, as well as coming with 2 temperature probes. As well, it has a very good warranty. While I had a decent Klein multimeter already, I waited a long time for this Kaiweets to go on a the best sale price I'd seen and then decided to get it for the AC InRush function and the DC Clamp function for my off grid solar needs. Not sure how much I'll use the Klein now, although Klein I have, is not a clamp meter and has fewer functions but is much smaller than the Kaiweets HT208D. The Kaiweet HT208D goes on sale occasionally and when it does, don't sit on the fence, as that makes it an even better value. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

impecable durante todos estos años. imprescindible en mi día a día. precisión, robustez y versatibilidad

Article de qualité.

Ka he estado usando para mí trabajo y sinceramente tanto la resistencia, presicion y funciones que tiene la pinza es bastante sobresaliente por el precio sin mencionar su capacidad de medir hasta 1000A de CA y CC
