Can I still get in on the UNI-T UT210e clamp meter buy?? I am confused about where to go to buy? Thanks.
My Uni-T is here, came pretty quick… 2 weeks from order date.
Neat small clamp meter. Seems to stabilize faster than my Mastech. You have to punch the top button to shift to DC, then the middle button to zero, and you’re up and running.
Does it hold a steady zero on DC?
Pretty much, yeah. Might go off a hundredth but if it doesn’t go back a simple press of the zero button solves it. With my Mastech, a second press of the zero puts it back where it started, usually some .34 off or so. Then you have to press it once again to zero out. So this Uni-T is simpler in that respect.
The jaws are pretty small, not really a big deal running a 12 ga wire loop through but I’m used the much larger and wider opening Mastech. Not a biggie, and the switch rotates opposite of the Mastech, again just insignificant differences that take a bit of getting used to.
Neat little zippered bag has a “lid” that zips open, leads with probes are stored in a pocket inside that lid, works pretty nice, cleverly done and useful.
Thanks Dale.
I've got the bigger UT208 and it wonders slightly hence the question.
Does the smaller size seem any better for shoving it into tight confines?
I’m on the fence, seems like I need a couple of these. I’ve wanted an AC/DC clamp meter for some time.
Conventionally The smallest jaws are direct expression of the current capacity of a clamp. This is more a precision clamp so the maximum current measurable is “low” compared to others (200A) but on the other side it’s resolution goes as low as 1mA….hence why.
More current take fatter cables so bigger jaws… Even if obviously you won’t ever clamp a cable as big the jaw
Wight, I’d say go for it. These cost half as much as my Mastech and are just as capable, even more so in some ways. Dinner for 2 at a nice place, not an exorbitant place. Or a sweet AC/DC clamp meter for a few years or more. 
Can I get the code if this is still active?
I was wondering if anyone could post a few pics (or a video) on how they measure tailcap current with this. I’m having trouble envisioning what a wire loop through is, and the types of wires one needs to use. I’m interested in this meter, but I want to be sure I understand how it’s done.

Thanks, Freeme and BangGood, for working out a great deal! And thanks to 1dash1 for lending me the template .
First results, compared wit my very old DMM (well, it’s digital). I replaced the tailcap with 8 inch of (single core copper) installation-wire, 1,7 mm (0,067 inch) diameter, that I bent in a U-shape and clamped the meter around one end.
Convoy S2+ with Intl.Outdoor UV-led and 3*7135 - DMM: 0.95A - UNI-T: 0.99A
Convoy S2 with XM-L2 4C dedomed and 8*7135 - DMM: 2.74A - UNI-T: 2.75A
BLF 6A SE with XP-L 1A dedomed FET + 1*7135 - DMM: 4.5-ish - UNI-T: 5.09A
EDIT: the next morning I ran the BLF 6A SE again with a fresh charged 30Q: 5.77A
I know it really hasn’t been that long since I ordered (by China shipping standards) but I’m going crazy waiting for mine.
Got mine. Works fine!
Are the batteries missing for anyone else? I wouldn’t even notice, but the manual explicitly states “please check that accessories are not missing or damaged: 1.5V AAA battery - 2 pcs”.
My Chinese is a bit rusty, so I did not notice .
The box I received had following contents. A clamp meter with two AAA-batteries in it, a carrying bag, two testleads, a warranty-card and a manual (both in Chinese). Will contact BG about the latter.
My manual was in English too. No batteries though.
Primary batteries not installed in equipment are, in general, no longer permitted in International Postal shipments. So either the shipper removes them, or often, the Postal Authorities do it for them!
Please add me to the list.
Thanks,
Mike
Should I order this now or wait until the Chinese new year is over?
I did suggest vendor to dump those cheap AAA batteries in exchange for faster delivery. I thought the idea was dropped due to extra manpower that had to be put in to get the job done.
