Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a wonderful clamp meter that provides a wide array of functions for the hobbyist, garage buff, or electrician. The dc-clamp is fantastic on this meter. I also have the extech ammeter that is open jaw, for those applications where its just too ... Read More
Good documentation, no chinglish. Everything works accurately and as advertised.
The sideways display is really useful. The layout of the controls are excellent. All the convenience and comfort (backlit highly visible screen, one-handed operation, etc.
I like the case - it’s minimalistic, made from thin nylon-like material but it does the job. Nice case, prevents meter from getting dinged in your bag. And it all fits into a nice little zippered case.
The device is well constructed with all * and dials easily manipulated with a gloved hand. The cap snaps in place so it won't fall down over the smaller tip when it's in place. It has some great features like a flashlight, temperature lead, and an eas... Read More
Cons
Lcd and pcb meters are not compatible with each other. Pcb meter cannot be turned off.
The meter insists the current is dc, and refuses to show the correct reading as ac. Temperature measurement is very inconsistent. Taking ac amp readings is a slow tedious process.
Highlights
Quality
I am quite impressed with the quality of there meters durable designs and documentation support
Overall i am fairly pleased with the ma445
As above the only thing i do not know is the quality of extech
The only reason i have given it a 4star is because i am unfamiliar with the extech brand and do not have a good idea of the qua... Read More

If you look at the listing picture you see the orange wedge come out from the side
Competitiveness
Its a rubberish cap thats a little difficult to get off if you pinch and twist while pulling its a little easier
I have 4 meters including a highend fluke and 3 clamps and this meter just got the spot in the everyday toolbox
Ive been a longtime amprobe user and i dont see any reason at all to go back
If i had to buy another clamp ampmeter right now id check out some of the other offerings and read their manuals before decidin... Read More

Its smaller than what i thought was in the picture

This one is set apart from most others in that it will measure dc current and temperature which not all clamp meters will do and i wanted an allinone solution to replace my circa 1980s micronta true rms multimeter

It is very difficult to tell what it is pointing to unless you have good light

The service technician had a fluke clamp meter and i though this would be a good opportunity to compare the extech to the much more expensive fluke

So we measured the current of the compressor motor and both meters read essentially the same within a 100ma of each other on a 12a reading
