Digital Clamp Meter, Auto-Ranging 400 Amp AC/DC and Non-Contact Voltage Tester Measurements, Klein Tools CL120, Orange

This is a great digital clamp meter. It has a 400A 600V 20 ohm maximum range. The voltage and current settings are super easy to select with the click wheel and feels solid when put in place. The unit itself is very solid feeling, and it’s powered by three AAA batteries, which are included. You do need a Philips screwdriver to get into the compartment which I find really annoying but at least the screw is one of those that stays with the unit when removed.The buttons are large and easy to press, the clamp is absolutely solid. It does mention a magnetic holder which would have been handy for me recently but this appears to be an optional extra attachment you have to purchase. The leads are good for CAT II to CAT IV locations for CAT II you can remove the shields. I love that you can put one of the leads into the holder on the side so you don’t have to juggle three different things.I’ve tested the ranges with another unit I have and it seems to give pretty much the same results. The NCV works well and is actually very sensitive. The display is very clear and easy to read and the back light works well.All in all this is a great tool for many tasks, I just wished the magnet attachment came with it.

The CL120 clamp meter is possibly the simplest clamp meter by Klein Tools, however it works perfectly, is well built and I feel safe using it. It comes with red and black tails, batteries and a case. It can read volts (AC/DC), OHMS and make a noise when the circuit is completed using the tails, very useful for fault finding. It can also read the amperage up to 400A through the clamp which is opened with a spring loaded trigger.From the testing I have done it reads accurate results and you can turn on a backlight to help reading a little easier in dark places. Rotating the dial selector is easy to do, even with gloves on and can be operated in one hand. You can use the max and hold functions to lock onto readings and cycle through the range settings.Overall this product is simple and doesn’t have a thousand different functions that I will never use. It works as I expect it to and hasn’t let me down yet. From it’s build I anticipate it will last a long time, especially with the case it comes with. It seems accurate down to 0.01a.Hopefully my review has been helpful

This is amazing, it comes well packaged and includes: easy to read instructions, red and black probes, batteries and the meter which all fit nicely into a very professional carry case.The meter is well thought out with it being great sized to hold in your hand with a good balance and the selection control wheel is perfectly positioned for your thumb to change as well as the hold side button.I love the display as its clear to read and if it is a little dark it lights up and makes it even clearer.The loop is easy to spring load open and if you are using probes it makes a handy hanging hoop to read the measurements, which so far have been spot on.Overall, I love the tool, the quality and it does way more than I expected.If you have found this review helpful, please hit the helpful button as this inspires me to write more.

I ordered this product as I work in IT, gone for basic model as I need to test continuity.Arrived in sealed plastic casing with all attachments required for immediate use - supplied with 3 x AAA batteries.Great quality clamp meter - robustly made and comes with a nice case with is big enough to fit both clamp and leads.Very easy to use, don't have to be a qualified electrician. Able to function easily even without reading instructions, requires only common sense and functions are clearly displayed in white text on clamp.Nice size LCD screen with is accurate, back light on lamp means readings of visible in the dark.Excellent kit to have available if needed, without having a refresher course to use every time.Overall, this clamp provides accurate readings for testing Voltage, Current and Continuity. Good Value for money.I would recommend this product.

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for an accurate, robust, and reliable multimeter, for some time now, that wouldn't break the bank. Although Klein Tools products aren't necessarily budget-friendly, what they are are accurate and well built. This multimeter is really sturdy, rather bulky due to the clamps, easy to use, and generally works well and I have no complaints.The CL120 model has almost all of the option you might need for DIY/small company such as AC/DC current and voltage measurement, resistance measurement, continuity tester, non-contact voltage tester. I have tried all of these options and all of these were spot on and matched my cheaper multimeter I had at home, however, I trust the measurement from this CL120 much more. The non-contact voltage tester is really sensitive and it is able to pick up the AC voltage present in the devices, near outlets, and even through walls if thin enough, I was pleasantly surprised. I love the backlight as it is impossible to read LCD displays in low light situations. The clamps work as advertised, however, you do require line splitter, otherwise, the magnetic field of live and neutral wire cancel each other out and you are unable to get the reading. This splitter is an extra £20 to £30 which is unfortunate and basically means that this device main feature which is non-contact amperage measurement is unusable unless you invest further.Overall, I would say this is a great product that works really well, I had no issues with it, however, the fact that you have to invest additional £20 to £30 for line splitter brings me then to conclude that this device is not a good value, especially considering that this is an imported product from Amazon US at the time of writing of this review, which means that it will be subject to import tax and fees which makes this product not as attractive as some locally available products. I would suggest shopping around and reading a few reviews before deciding on purchasing a multimeter that will suit your needs.
