Q1: Why does the display look so darkness? A1: Because it's a reverse display design, it can't be viewed under strong light, it is recommended to use in dark environments..
Q2: If I want to return to the original button, how do I go back? A2: You can directly press the power button to return back directly, do not need to press one by one to return to the original button.

I'm an electrician by trade so I figured I should try this type of meter. I got it to work and measure amperage draw which is them main reason I wanted it. It's not difficult to use, but I feel I'm fumbling with it to get it to work. You need to scroll through the functions until you get to the one that provides you the readings you need.As a low cost alternative, this will get the hobbyist taken care of at an affordable price. It's not a replacement for the much more expensive meters, but should be find for the average home user at a price that won't break the bank.

I've used a lot of meters over the years, and the clamp on style meters for both AC and DC current measurements are becoming some of my favorites. This one works well for measuring low currents and verified that the current measurements were quite accurate in the milliamp range of measurements. I do a lot of things on the DC side of the equation and this works well for that.Now a couple of things that I don't like about it. First off, the default reading is always showing temperature in Centigrade on the display as a secondary reading at the top of the other readings. So that when you are reading voltage, you also see temperature. Not a deal breaker, but it just seems a bit strange to see that always. Only when you go to the actual temperature measuring mode, does it show both Fahrenheit and Centigrade modes. The other thing is they kind of give you an indication at the bottom of the different measurements that are available to do with it, and the meter beeps at you every time you push the button (that too tends to get annoying), but to get to things, you have to cycle all the way through the whole of the measuring modes. It does offer automatic mode, but unless the voltage is over the threshold it will not sense what you are trying to do with it. So you have to go through the mode settings to measure things that you want to measure.The price is very good at the time of this review. I would say if you need a meter occasionally, this is okay for the occasional use user, but if you want something with more customization and a menu system navigation that seems a bit more to the point, then you might want to look at something else. But this meter does work well overall.

I used to have a similar clamp meter, but my son “borrowed” it and it still hasn’t returned. He uses it for work, so I haven’t bother getting it back from him. That one only measured AC current, so I wanted one that could also measure DC current.I played around with it a bit a few days ago when it was delivered, but today I brought it to work to test all of the features in my electronics lab.Every feature worked well.AC and DC current were well within my expectations. The clamp is big enough to easily get it around anything, but the jaws are a bit too big to fit a 120V receptacle adapter that I have that will gain the current up 20x. I’d need to get my “son’s” meter to use this.AC and DC voltage were spot on, as was the resistance meter. I checked the ESD protection diodes on some ICs and they read exactly what they were supposed to. The short circuit beeper worked well, too.I was able to measure capacitance, too, though I didn’t try it on any caps smaller than 10uF. Those read as expected.My old meter didn’t have a temperature sensor, but this one does. There are actually two different temperature measurements. If you don’t plug in the K-type thermocouple, it will use an internal sensor to read the ambient temperature, and when you plug the thermocouple in, it will use that instead. Kind of neat.The frequency measurement works well, too. I checked the output of a Class D amplifier and it correctly reported 330kHz and 660kHz of the switching square waves.There are also two different ways to measure if power is on a circuit or not. You can plug in the positive cable, put the meter into this mode, and poke the lead somewhere to see if there is voltage applied. I tried applying it to 3VDC, 12VDC, and 20VDC. It didn’t do anything at 3V, but at 12V and 20V, it would slowly beep and one little bar was displayed. When I stuck the lead into the hot side of a 120VAC receptacle, it beeped rapidly and all four bars were displayed.There is also a no-contact way to check for power. In this mode, you can bring the plastic nub close to a live wire and it will start beeping and showing the bars. At home, I could run this along my walls and see where the electrical wires were routed behind the drywall, though at work I couldn’t find the wires. Maybe the wires are all inside of metal conduit? I didn’t knock any holes in the wall to check!Side note: if you’re using the thermocouple, it might be better to wear gloves. This K-Type thermocouple wire, like a lot of other ones like this, is shielded with a temperature-resistant fiberglass braid. If you slide it through your fingers, like simply straightening out the wire, there’s a good chance that you’ll get some fiberglass slivers and it’s not pleasant. Gloves can help you avoid itchy fingers.The little storage bag is nice, too.This is a very capable little meter that covers a lot of functions. It’s a great tool to have around the house or a small home electrical bench.
