Klein Tools CL110KIT Electrical Tester / Maintenance Kit w/Clamp Meter, Continuity Tester, GFCI Tester, Line Splitter, Case, Leads, 3 x AAA

I bought it primarily for the clamp feature, but my multimeter was probably 20 years old, so it was time to upgrade. First, I was perplexed by the line splitter. How did I manage to get 90 amps on a 15 amp device on a 20 amp circuit without tripping the breaker? The line splitter, on the other hand, amplifies the signal 10 times (which explains why it says X10 on it). So there you have it. However, using the MAX setting allowed me to turn on the device without having to look at the meter. (I'm troubleshooting a device that trips the circuit breaker every now and then. ) br>br>I was disappointed that the probes were not equipped with alligator clips. And they aren't available separately from Klein. You can get aftermarket alligator clips or a Klein test probe with alligator clips built in (which I'm waiting for). Still, a set of clips for $5 or less would be nice, and I would have paid $5 more for them. Dbr>br>The case is attractive, but it is rather small. It will fit the meter and probes, but not the other kit items. So, rather than being a kit, it's a collection of items sold as a set. br>br>However, everything appears to be in good working order and is simple to operate. I haven't had the opportunity to test anything else yet, but I'm confident it will perform admirably when I do. br>br>(I'm keeping the old Sears one around, despite the fact that it has a broken LCD. ) And no, I don't have any alligator clips in that size.

For 99 percent of the applications I work with commercial and industrial HVAC equipment, this Klein meter is both convenient and practical. The automatic range selection for voltage and amperage is convenient and versatile; the only drawback is the location of the hold button, which is inconvenient to use when using the meter; otherwise, this is a good all-around multimeter.

This meter is one of my favorites. It's easy to use, does everything I need it to, is well-made, and reasonably priced. I'm not an electrician; I'm simply handy, and a good multimeter is one of the most useful tools in any toolbox. This one does a great job at what it's supposed to be doing. I particularly like the splitter, which allows you to use the amp clamp with anything that runs on 110 volts and 15 amps or less. Klein produces high-quality tools, and this one is no exception. My only gripe is with the case. It's too small to accommodate the meter, splitter, outlet tester, and leads. It's possible to cram everything into the case, but it'll be tight and all the pieces will rub against one another. I gave the package 5 stars because the meter is excellent, but I would have given it 412 stars if I could. The case is the least expensive component of the set. Klein, you need to make a stronger case.

This was a b-day present from my daughter. I have checked this one out and I would have to say it is as good as my old one I am an electrician by trade there time I trust my life on the meter I have checked this one out and I would have to say it is as good as my old one I have to say I like my old one I am an electrician by trade there time I trust my life on the meter I have checked this one out and I would have to say it is as good as my.

Yes, they're made in Taiwan, but it's a no-brainer when you consider that Fluke meters are made in China!.

br>br>At first, I tried using the name brand batteries I already had, but I couldn't get it to turn on. Shifting the batteries around in the battery compartment appears to have an effect, and after replacing the original batteries with the generic batteries that came with it, the problem appears to have gone away, but I double-checked that the original batteries were in good condition and that their charge was still good. As a result, it appears to be a little finicky. br>br>In conjunction with the included splitter, I was able to use it to measure the amperage draw of my appliances. However, depending on how it was held, it might not be able to take the reading. Overall, it's a success. br>br> I imagine a higher-end model would perform far better. But it did the job for my occasional needs.

I bought this as a backup to keep in the toolbox in case something goes wrong. What you don't pay for isn't given to you. When compared to an AMES and a Fluke, this one's amp readings aren't nearly as accurate. When using the clamp on an ac compressor, the clamp can be as far away as 4 amps. Using the probes, count to five. Unfortunately, this particular meter does not test capacitance, despite the fact that I assumed it did. I didn't read the entire description because I was too tired to do so. I'm not going to purchase another.

This makes me very happy. It has a tough look to it and performs admirably. The 10x line splitter makes testing appliances a breeze, and the tester's backlight comes in handy when crawling under furniture to reach an outlet - Simply plug in the line splitter and appliance, clamp on the meter, turn the dial to turn it on, and then click the backlight button to see the current readings from a distance. Although I haven't tested how quickly the Max function reacts to extremely short transient spikes, it appears to work well.
