Fluke Probe Clamp-On Current

great amp clamp only drawback is it doesn't read below 4 amps. But then again it's for higher measurements. I'm an industrial electrician. But I have had fun using it on Automobiles starters. Checking compression !

Broke this sucker out to test current on an A/C heater line, should be reading between 1 and 4 Amps, nope, too low to measure. It's not like I wasn't using a Fluke 87 while I was taking the measurement. I placed our standard non contact on the same line and got the reading I was looking for. The i410 jumped at first when I hit the little green button (btw, that is stupid, give me a switch, I've only got so many hands) but immediately dropped to zero. Removed it, re-zeroed (it hadn't moved) and tried again, no dice. I seldom need to read in the range this thing might be accurate within. I'm starting to question Fluke's commitment to quality products and have half a mind to send this thing to AvE for a tear down of it. Gabbage. Going to put it in the art bin at work and see if I can't get hold of something a little less finicky with the resolution I need. Neat idea, don't know why more people don't know you can use the voltage settings on their meters, done it before, of course calibrating a loop of wire can be a pain in the dingus end. Giving this a 5/5 for reliability, it reliably told me nothing of use. Will not be purchasing more Fluke anyway.
