Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The plastic feels cheap but it's molded fairly thick so it's pretty solid despite that. It comes with a nice carrying case and batteries are included.

Live reads are a game changer. User manual is excellently written. Easy to use. Dials, settings are easy to read.

The tool is quite impressive in functionality and cost. Perfect for the home handyman. I think my only wish is that the pins were not pins but teeth that can grip to things.



Cons

Capacitor testing is useless. Defective and cheap. Disappointing that whatever qc was performed was negligent.

    But sometimes we just fix odd ball bench stuff


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The instructions indicate you can only measure ac current on one wire


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you put a normal 3 or 2 wire cable in the top of the claw opening you will get strange readings if more than one wire has current flowing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Remember that a live device any part of the device that has power to it has to return unused current back to the source


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Thats why you can get a serious to dangerous shock on a neutral wire


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I marked it down 1 start because it doesnt measure dc current


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Yeah i should have read details more closely but the dial does appear to represent ac or dc
