I know, it's not a fluke. It's not even a Klein.

But if you can find a faster or more accurate meter for AC/DC for under $30.....Clamp It!!!!!

I've been very happy for the price.

This is posted in the Amazon description:

Can DC current be measured?
NO. This meter can only measure AC Current.

How do you get yours to measure DC current?

Looking at the picture there are symbols for both a/c and d/c but that's only going by picture


Edit. I think the AC only is for the clamp measuring Amperage not the voltage reading

Usually DC current are more expensive and difficult to find.
This one is only AC current only!
Pass!!

Lightning deal price: $37.50 - 20% coupon = $30
After lightning deal: $40 - 25% coupon = $30 :-)

Outside of the rare one-off sale, $30 is a good price for a respectable DC clamp meter, and I've been checking out prices since 2021 (you may be able to save a few bucks on Aliexpress). This is a rebadged Habotest HT206D and one can find numerous reviews online. Do not get the cheaper HT206A/B/C if you want DC current, as those do not have the Hall sensor required for DC current measurement. Do note that Hall sensor can be finicky.

DC clamp meters aren't that common and there are only a few out there from the handful of multimeter manufacturing houses in China: The UNI-T UT204+ and UT210D/E that's been around for 10+ years (Scotty Kilmer of YouTube has a Voltcraft VC330 which is a rebadged UNI-T), Habotest HT206D and HT208D, Vici CM-2016, Fuyi FY219, MK06 etc (often branded as bside, Mestek, Tacklife), Mustool X1. and various Aneng and Amazon rebrands (Kaiweets, AstroAI, ...).

How about the Kaiweets higher priced model KC602? It appears visually identical to the GVDA GD166B which runs about $25 on Aliexpress. Both Kaiweets and GVDA specs for it claim DC current.

It all comes to personal preference. The Kaiweets KC601 / GVDA GD168B (rebadged Habotest HT203D) and KC602 / GD166B (rebadged HT205D) have "smart" auto mode select vs. manual dial knob of the old HT206/HT208 models, always-on-backlight color LCD screen that are great, but consumes more power than traditional LCD and can get washed out under bright sunlight. There are plenty of good KC602 review videos (Kaiweets gave out a lot of free samples) that show some of the features and gotchas. AFAIK, the KC601 and KC602 are functionally identical, the only difference is the handy probe holder on the KC602 / HT205D. The KC601 is currently $30.80 after coupon on Amazon [amazon.com] while the GD168B or KC602 are around $25 on Aliexpress.

The old venerable HT208D (HT206D with more features and bright LCD) is under $30 on Aliexpress too.

$28.34 from HABOTEST Official Store [aliexpress.us], Be aware that Aliexpress prices can fluctuate wildly on a [sub-]daily basis.

There is also a HT207D [aliexpress.us] which is spec-wise similar to the HT206D (old-school, low-energy-usage LCD, 4000-count instead of 6000) but with the D-clamp and probe holder). It was $18.89 yesterday but jumped to $22.37 now. Clamp meters with AC-only current can be had for around $10, AC socket/GFCI tester (with V, frequency readout), natural gas detector, and anenometer can be had for a few dollars which IMO is pretty wild, not to mention nuclear radiation detector (Geiger counter) for $25-40.

There was a Mastfuyi MK06 DC clamp meter [amazon.com] for $18 ($30-40%) on Amazon but the coupon has been reduced to 30%. Here is a review [kerrywong.com] of a rebadged version (bside ACM03).
