Best Clamp Meters of 2026

"I use this meter every day for generator diagnostics and maintenance. It’s compact, high quality, and provides quick, accurate readings even though it’s not a TRMS model. I’ve checked it against other Fluke meters and the results are spot on."

"As someone who works in commercial HVAC, I can say for the price this is the best Fluke meter I’ve owned. It’s incredibly accurate, takes up almost no space in my tool bag, and after several months of use I won't switch back to my old meters. 10/10."

"This meter is amazingly compact—much smaller and slimmer than my previous one, so it fits in my bag so much better. I just received it, but if it lives up to Fluke’s reputation, I expect it to be fantastic. If you want a meter that’s pocket-friendly, this is the one."

"I've been using Fluke meters for decades, and the quality has always been top-notch. This clamp meter is no exception—ergonomic design, accurate readings, and it just feels solid in the hand. Definitely another stellar addition to my toolkit."

"The readings are steady and easy to interpret, and the build quality gives me confidence in its durability. My only minor gripe is that the display could be brighter in dim settings, but otherwise it's a great tool."

"This meter is built like a tank and comes with a handy carry case. Fluke instruments never let me down, and this one fits perfectly in my tool bag for quick access on the job."

"For a DIY enthusiast, this meter delivers great value for the price. I find it accurate and packed with features—from voltage and continuity to diode checks. The auto-ranging takes some getting used to if you’re used to manual meters, but it's really convenient. I use it mainly for home and car projects, and it has already proven worth the investment. Just be mindful that all budget meters may lose a bit of accuracy over time, but for general use around the house, it's more than sufficient."

"As a casual homeowner and DIY user, I think this multimeter is well-made, easy to use, and reliable. The auto Ohms selection saves me time, and it’s accurate enough for everyday tasks. I don’t need professional-level precision, so for occasional use, it’s a perfect fit and definitely worth what I paid."

"After receiving a replacement unit, I was impressed by how responsive and helpful the customer service was. The new meter works flawlessly—quick, precise, and enjoyable to use for continuity and electrical checks. Any issues I had with the first unit were resolved, and it’s clear the product is well-designed and supported."

"I'm really happy with this clamp multimeter. The accuracy and the fact that it handles both DC and AC current so well make it a standout. For the price, it's a steal—honestly, it holds up surprisingly well against some of my much more expensive meters. I especially like that it runs on AAA batteries, which makes it way more convenient than dealing with rechargeable ones. I did have to swap out the leads for a higher quality set, but now it works flawlessly for all my projects."

"This meter has been a great addition to my toolkit. The display is super bright and clear, and I find the build quality solid. I haven't had a chance to test its long-term reliability, but so far, everything feels sturdy, especially the function dial. It also comes with nice probes and a well-designed case that fits everything comfortably. For most homeowners, this should do the trick."

"I’ve had several of these meters for months now and the design is just fantastic! What really stands out is that it defaults to DC volts, has a long auto-off timer, and can measure both AC and DC amps—something you almost never see at this price. The test leads plug into the bottom, which saves space in the case, and the backlight is easy to activate. Overall, it's the best clamp meter I've owned for the money."

"The Fluke 302+ Digital Clamp Meter is truly an essential tool for anyone working with electrical systems. Its compact build and 30mm jaw make it a breeze in tight spots, and it never fails to deliver precise readings. The clear digital display is a huge benefit. This is a solid, dependable device that’s well worth the investment for pros and serious DIYers."

"You really can’t go wrong with Fluke—their meters are the only ones I trust with my work and even my life. The Fluke 302+ is no exception; it’s well-built, reliable, and the quality is exactly what you’d expect from Fluke."

"My Fluke 302+ arrived as scheduled and works great. The amp readings are consistent with my old Amprobe, and I appreciate that it came with a vinyl zipper case. The only minor downside is that the test leads are basic vinyl instead of flexible silicone."

"As a DIY enthusiast, I found this multimeter to be extremely versatile and packed with useful features for the price. I use it for general electrical work around the house, and so far, accuracy and ease of use have been outstanding. It doesn’t match the calibration of high-end meters, but for residential and automotive tasks, it’s perfect. I consider it a solid investment."

"I needed a replacement for my old meter, and this one has been fast, reliable, and intuitive to use. The auto-range ohms setting is particularly handy for someone who doesn’t want to fuss with manual selection. It’s not a professional tool, but for occasional home projects, it’s great value."

"After receiving a defective unit, I reached out to AstroAI and their customer support exceeded my expectations with a swift replacement. The new unit works flawlessly—continuity checks are instant, and all features perform reliably. I’m very happy with both the product and the service I received."

"As someone who mostly does DIY projects, I found this multimeter extremely functional and packed with features for the price. The auto-range and function button took me some getting used to, coming from old-school meters, but overall it’s accurate and reliable for general use. I appreciate how well it’s made for the cost, and if it lasts a year, I’ll feel I got my money’s worth."

"I had an issue with my first unit, but AstroAI’s customer service was outstanding—they sent me a replacement right away. The new multimeter has been fast, accurate, and very enjoyable to use. The continuity checks are instant and the rotary switch feels solid. Their responsiveness made a big difference in my experience."

"This clamp meter is easy to operate and feels high quality. The voltage range is more than enough for my needs, and accuracy matches my variable power supply. Plus, it comes with a nice case. I’m very happy with this purchase."

"I was looking for a more accurate meter to replace my old voltmeter, and this one does the trick. The size is just right for one-handed use, and the added features are genuinely helpful. Plus, the fact that it’s a Klein tool means I can count on its durability. Definitely a better deal than what I found at big box stores."

"As a DIY homeowner, I wanted something better than my basic meter. This kit stood out because it allows me to measure amps with the clamp and has a built-in NCV tester. If you don’t already own a multimeter, outlet tester, and NCV pen, this kit puts them all together in a handy, well-built package. The display is clear and backlit, and the overall build feels reliable. Only minor downside is that you need a screwdriver to swap batteries, but otherwise, it’s a great all-in-one set for the home user."

"For the price, I’m impressed with this kit. I’ve paid four times more for similar meters from brands like Fluke and Fieldpiece, but this one does everything I need for my camper. Great value and performance for the money—I’m very satisfied."

"I've found this device to be extremely accurate, especially when measuring DC amps. I compared its readings directly with my Fluke 87, and the results matched perfectly. It's been reliable for checking alternators, ECM current draw, and more. Great performance and accuracy for daily work."

"This meter is sleek, portable, and surprisingly capable for its size. The included case is a bit large, but the leads are durable with excellent insulation. I use this every day at work and it's been nothing but reliable. If you add a hanging magnet mount, it becomes even more convenient. Feels great in hand and looks sharp, too."

"I was a bit disappointed to find that the magnetic hanging strip was missing, despite being listed in the box contents. Otherwise, it's a solid product, but the missing accessory was unexpected."

"For me, the Kaiweets HT206D clamp multimeter stands out for its accuracy and feature set, especially at its price point. I use it daily, and it’s become my go-to meter—even competing with my much pricier Fluke. I really appreciate that it takes regular AAA batteries, so I never have to worry about recharging. My only gripe is with the included test leads, which had poor conductivity, but I solved that by upgrading to better probe kits. Now, I get precise and stable readings every time."

"I was searching specifically for a clamp meter that could measure DC amps reliably in the 0.5 to 50 amp range. This meter delivered, showing readings down to 0.1 amps on the 60A scale. It might not be 'standards' grade, but it’s packed with features for any homeowner at a great value."

"After using a few different meters, I found this one to be solidly built with an intuitive design. The display is bold and bright, and I love that it defaults to DC volts. Features like the 20-minute auto-off, DC/AC clamp, and conveniently placed test lead ports make it really user-friendly. It’s honestly the best clamp meter I’ve owned for the price."
