    However when the batteries are low it gives strange indications even though there was no low battery indications

    If you clamp any such meter onto the ac powercord of any appliance device for example the meter wont work its the nature of the game


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The meter is well built and has low current capability with a 1ma resolution for dc current a feature not available on many equally priced clamp meters

    The only drawback that i found with the 380942 meter is that in order to take ma current readings you must first zero out the display and must leave this function enabled in order to take accurate readings and while you do this the minmax functionality is not available

    When you switch the meter to “ma” the display will always display some value higher than zero so you must enable the dca zero function in order to take accurate readings

    My work is important i am working in an environment where mistakes can cost millions of dollars and lives and untold cost and inconvenience for the electric consuming public

    If you want high accuracy and resolution you are going to have to pay a lot more money
