I found the display challenging to read in all but very bright conditions because it is inset within the device so deeply as to be shadowed by the case
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Pressing the light button was hit or miss if the internal light would illuminate the display and even when that did work the light went out too soon for me to complete my measurements without having to press it again

But the button is located right where my thumb would be gripping the meter to open the clamp making it uncomfortable not pressing the button in normal conditions
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It also seems weird to me that the clamp light does not also automatically cause the display light to illuminate as id think if you cant see the wire youre clamping you wont be able to see the display either

So the display light requires a separateawkward pressandhold

Checking dc amperage on either negative or positive cables in my car resulted in wildly swinging numbers

Ive never had a clamp meter before so dont know if that it so be expected vs some reasonable measurement or if the idea is just to confirm that current is slowing
