Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
I’ve used brands such as fluke and klein and i believe this meter offers the same accuracy as either of those.
Comparing results to my significantly more expensive amp clamp it seems remarkably accurate too.
I use my fluke meter as a comparision and this meter comes within 0.
Although this astroai is probably less accurate than my older high-end fluke, the fluke doesn’t provide dc current through a clamp meter.

A comparable fluke unit would cost close 5x as much and for semipro or the diy space there is no need to go all out

It will never be an ultrahighend fluke scopemeter or for that matter a fluke style product
