By the way, if anyone needs some good clamp leads for meters, these are excellent. I don’t know if you could do better unless you make your own set which would cost a lot more. 18awg high strand conductors, super pliable cover (not sure it’s silicone but it’s not pvc), good fit and great spring tension. Not a deal, per se, but a good price on great leads. Most of the others out there are a smaller wire and can’t carry much current (fine for most things, though). For real hotrod lights you’d probably want to go to a heavier wire than these.
Yeah, I remember reading that. I’ll be the last person to second-guess him, but he also didn’t test for that (the leads…the circuit can be more or less ascertained by looking at it). I think they’re fine for household mains and such but personally I would not trust them with phase work and higher voltages…unless I had to I guess. That said, I have no idea if the primary maker of all these leads/”brands” actually does legit testing for the claims, despite any CE or UL labeling. So many times they do not (our IP-X ratings in lights is a great example, albeit even less regulated than electrician tools)…rather they just put symbols and words out there because they’re “supposed” to, or they may design something legitimately (copy or otherwise) and then never pay the money for testing or subsequent redesign if necessary. I’m fine with that for some things, but not with others.
Actual usable inside measurements of the one I linked are 3-5/8” x 7-3/8”……meter itself is just shy of 7”. There’s enough extra room lengthwise to fit a AA battery and plenty of space at the side for gizmos. Takes up a little more room in the chest than I’d prefer but it’s nice having all that stuff together.
About $10?
As far as I can tell, the Pro version can measure AC Frequency. The non-Pro doesn’t have that function.
The Frequency function - so far - has not been able to pick up on PWM square waves.
I haven’t tried it on much yet to see if that’s the case for different PWM Freqs.
All the Best,
Jeff
I’ve heard people refer to these things as “roach clips” but that brings a whole new dimension to the fun you can have with alligator clips. Wow, just wow.
Check out TCL’s soundbars on Amazon Here . I needed one and a friend highly recommended them. Very happy with mine. They are great quality for the price.
