Its has gotten pricier, however, over the last few years. --- End quote --- We also have a CM11 to measure small standby currents. It is very precise with a resolution of 100µA, but you have to be careful not to "overdrive" it, as it can only measure a maximum of 10A/20A DC/AC. Together with the Fluke 337 current clamp, which is also precise but designed for higher currents, we cover the range from 1mA to 600A. https://www.benning.de/products-en/testing-measuring-and-safety-equipment/current-clamp-multimeter/high-precision-current-clamp-cm-11.html |

My unit is quite old, and had no problems whatsoever with the build-quality.. find it sturdy and rigid. if you hand out many hundreds of dollars for a low current AC&DC clamp meter, you will hopefully get a better build than a 30-buck AC&DC clamp meter like 210E or will you? You should purchase an Extech MA63-N ;) a steal at 410 USD before AU VAT.. https://www.flir.com/products/ma63/?model=MA63-NIST&vertical=condition+monitoring&segment=solutions Or you can keep it lowkey and jump on the cheaper non-third-party-calibrated MA63 at merely 580 AUS at Amazon.au - and keep the Unit-t 210E/211B vibe going under a big-brand label with a hz added-price to match and then you can talk about a conundrum. https://www.amazon.com.au/Extech-MA63-True-Clamp-Meter/dp/B01BEVDSV6?th=1 --- End quote --- Thats the thing with the 210E especially hacked eeprom unlocking more functionality, it really does offer a lot of good features and specs. Those rebadges are a bit extreme with the price hikes though. Pretty well the unit210E made by fluke would be a wet dream. I should almost start a clamp meter excel sheet with all these new capable clamp meters im finding from this thread. |

I have the UT210D. It's cute and a good price, but I have zero use for it on my bench. It's in one of my tool bags and great for random stuff when I'm out and and about. Got a good deal on the Fluke 771 a while back. It's definitely my go to clamp meter for low currents. Amazing stability and accuracy. Although these days I have a nice selection of shunts, so they are the first choice when it's possible to insert them into the circuit. |

Have you been looking at the Owon CM2100B, doesn't it meet your needs? |

I like that Owon specs on paper. But reviews seem to show it has next to no input protection and useless NCV function. I wonder what the quality in the hand feels like compared to the uni-t. I do like it Tho, I will probably buy one to try out anyway and just use for LV DC duties, as the DC voltage and current measurements look good and datalogging capabilities etc. |
