KC604 Clamp Meter

Initial testing good. While not the cheapest option available, it is still quite reasonably priced and seems like a much more professional tool than the lower-priced options I tried. This unit has a relatively compact size, but still has a decent heftiness feel to it - I do not mean that it is heavy, just that it does not feel like a 50 cent plastic toy. Impressively, it comes with a real significant manual written in actual English (and many other languages too) instead of some Chinese gibberish. My one minor complaint is that the manual is just a bit too large to fit into the pocket in the case intended for storage. I solved this by just tearing the 24 page English section off the top of the manual, then folding it in half, but that should not have been necessary. Another notable feature is that the test leads come with tip covers that actually have real value. Instead of just completely covering the tips so that they have to be removed to use the meter at all, these leave the very ends of the tips exposed so that the leads can be used for many basic measurements with the covers left in place (such as a quick battery test). More than just convenience, these have the added value that if you need to measure something in a tight position where you are worried that the normally long and fully exposed tip might short out on something beside you intended measurement point, the lead cover proves extra protection. I'm not sure why most modern test leads come with full plastic covers anyway; what possible protection does a bare metal probe need in storage? The accuracy specs (from the manual) seem to be acceptable for a tool in this price range: DCV +-0.5%, ACV +-0.8%, Current +-2.5%, Resistance +-1.0%

An excellent multimeter. This is my second one from this manufacturer. I'm very pleased. It's functional and has everything you need. Excellent value for the money! I'm very pleased. Highly recommend!

First impressions after 2 weeks of use. This meter does almost everything I need. Voltage and resistance readings are spot on. Capacitance readings seem accurate down to 10 pf. AC RMS voltage readings seem accurate. The ability to hold peak readings is a nice feature. The main limitation is current readings. AC current readings seem reasonably accurate (of course you need to place only 1 wire in the clamp. However DC current readings (in the 100 mA range) were inconsistent even after nullify out the stray magnetic fields with the "zero" button. Unfortunately there is no direct way to measure mA currents using the probes. (In one case I just put a 1 ohm resistor in series with the circuit and measured the voltage. As long as the current is less than 1 A, a 1 W resistor should suffice.) The auto power off function is nice, but the only way I found to turn the meter back on is to turn the function knob to "off" and restart. I found the thermocouple useful for checking the temperature of a power resistor. (I had no idea that they could hit 130 C while operating within their rated power!) All in all, I would recommend this unit for an advanced hobbyist.

The KAIWEETS Digital Clamp Meter Multimeter with D-Shaped Jaw for AC/DC Current & Voltage is about the best deal you're going to find for a DC clamp; there are cheaper AC clamp multimeters but few DC amp clamp meters at this price. This is something you can use in your car without having to dismantle as much wiring as you would in your house. The AC clamp meters on all of these are less useful for the average homeowner because you can only clamp test ONE individual wire at a time, but most wiring is multi wire Romex. Nice meter, nice case, shipped in 1 day. 100% content.

This Kaiweets HT206D clamp multimeter is great - I love it. For $48 it is a best buy. {{It competes well with my several hundred dollars Fluke multimeter. My biggest issue with Fluke is their probes are outrageously priced, but their meters are excellent.}} I have tested all functions, and it works very well. The clamping ammeter is a real plus. This is now my go-to meter for everyday projects. I like the fact that it uses two AAA batteries. I hate rechargeable anything and avoid them like the plague they are –always discharged when you need them most and you need to wait to recharge them. Not this meter – just slip in two new AAA batteries and you are good to go. Half the leads (mainly the fine pointed ones) that come with the meter, however, are crap and so is the optional Kaiweets 23-piece multimeter test lead kit. These have connectivity issues with either high ohms or ohms that continuously jump all over the place. They are held in place via a crimp and the conductivity is awful. The Kaiweets vendor replaced the 23-piece kit for me, but the replacement had the same conductivity issues. Save yourself time and aggravation, get a good lead set for this. I wasted a few weeks thinking the meter was bad when it was bad probes. These are the probes I ultimately settled on as excellent for this Kaiweets clamping multimeter: the Snakol 22-Piece Multimeter Test Lead Kit and the Bionso 25-Piece Multimeter Leads Kit - both at about the same price as the malfunctioning Kaiweets test probe kit. The main difference is the Snakol has longer probe handles which I like. I am using both sets, however. All the probes in these two sets have great conductivity and no issues and they fit the Kaiweets HT206D clamp multimeter. They give stable readings of 0-to-0.1-ohms. The main issue with these, however, is the probes need to be screwed into place with a wrench or needle nose pliers making changing probes more difficult. On the other hand, this is likely why they give such good conductivity. However, you can buy multiple sets so you can permanently set up the probes you use most frequently. Some of the other probes in the set are the plug-in type so they be changed easily and these have excellent conductivity as well. I find these two kits give me all the probes I need and more.

Excellent multipurpose digital meter. Easy to use. Great display. I used it to check the parasitic battery draw on my car. The clamp on amp meter read below 50 mili amps at times. I found the min/max function to be very useful. The zero reset function is a must when reading current this low. Awesome feature! I wish it had a way of monitoring longer than the auto ten minute shutoff feature which saves the batteries. Right on accuracy with my other digital meter reading DC voltage. I highly recommend this meter.

I must state that I am NOT a professional electrician nor am I an electrician by trade. I am a technology enthusiast. I design and deploy networks, hardware installations, repairs and personnel software provisioning. I needed to add a digital clamp meter to my growing tools set. A clamp meter because I want to be able to measure amperage as well. I needed something capable, durable and with a decent amount of functionality. This came up in my search and then I moved on to investigating it through YouTube reviews. My dad was a service technician so I had an idea of some of the functions that I wanted. This HT206D is impressive. As an artist and someone nearly obsessed with design, I appreciate its form and the colours are lovely. Predominantly red and black with white and orange for labelling and one grey rubber button. The clamp is firm and while I thought I would have had a reservation about the body being made of plastic instead of rubber, it turns out it is a non issue. I have big hands so nearly everything is relatively small in them. This is small to me and also very comfortable. The way a little of the circumference of the dial overlaps the edge of the tester, it is easier to use for a one handed operation which makes it convenient for you to use your other hand to manage the probes, which, are very decent quality. The cables are soft and pliable so there is virtually no resistance in getting them to the contacts that you're trying to reach. The overall boil of this is sturdy and has no feeling of cheapness or anyone cutting corners to compromise on anything. The features are as good as the best I can guess. Firstly, this is a Direct Current AND Alternating Current tester. You don't have to chose between having one or the other. The display is big and clearly visible. Even if ambient lighting is not sufficient for you, backlight facilitates clear, legible readings all the time. If you want a comprehensive list of the features, they are listed here on the amazon page, as well as numerous other sites with reviews. I must add though, that the thermometer is a really nice additional peripheral. I can't say for now what cases I can think of where I will have need for it but it is an additional value. Like I stated earlier, I am not an electrician by trade. However, the data I have seen others collect on other forums, compared to more finely tuned instruments, are only dissimilar by a negligible margin and personally, they align with what is expected. In addition to this being an AC/DC tester, I bought it because of the 600 Volt capacity. I can say with certainty that I will NOT find myself in any environment needing a higher capacity than that. My home uses 110/115 volts with 220 volts for a small number of appliances. My car has a 12 volt battery and my alternator gives me close to 15 volts. Not to mention that the everyday consumer electronics dont consume much electricity or produce any power to even reach have of what this can test. It was a comfortable buy and if you're an every day person, a hobbyist or even a professional, the capabilities of this tester will not come up short of what you require.

I needed a clamp on meter capable of DC amps anywhere in the vicinity of 0.5 a to 50 amps. While I found in the advertisement that the meter had a 60 amp and a 600 amp scale, nowhere on Amazon could I find the minimum amperage this meter could detect ( ie, would it even indicate 0.5 amps). I bought it on the hope that it would. On the 60 amp scale, the device displays two decimals, so in theory a current of 0.01 amp could be detected. I would not however buy it to read this low of a current, as I would be highly suspect of the accuracy at this low level. I would say the very lowest dc current this can reliably detect is 0.1 amp or 100 madc. Decent meter. I wouldn’t consider it “standards” grade, but a lot of features for home owner use.
