Let me start by saying, that I wholeheartedly recommend this product for amateur electronics enthusiasts. Those who research Clamp Meters, will find comments both praising and criticising this meter. Here's the kicker, both are true. I will get to specifics, but important things to consider are, valve for money and relevance to your area of interest. One article I read which included this meter, compared 5 clamp meters, and concluded by recommending the most expensive of them as the best. I found that to be disingenuous. They were correct that the most expensive provided the most accurate readings, however, you pay for the privilege. The UT-210E is a good, low cost, general purpose tool. It will give you AC & DC Amp readings to a precision of 10mA on the 2A setting. In circumstances where readings of 1mA or lower are required, I recommend cutting the connection & inserting an in line meter. I believe this to be a reasonable recommendation, when the alternative is to pay an order of magnitude more for a more accurate readout from a clamp meter. The UT-210E is reasonable on battery life, size, weight, range of functionality, accuracy & price. The cons are the previously mentioned precision on clamp readings, the fact that it defaults to AC readings, where DC would be more convenient for the majority of users, and the more annoying characteristic, that it needs to be zeroed often, practically between each reading. I point out that zeroing is performed at the touch of a button; hardly an arduous imposition. At this price point, everyone can afford to have a clamp meter. That is the most persuasive argument in favour of the UT-210E. Read full review

This is a great product for the price that it is sold for. It is easy to hold and take current measurements (both AC and DC upto 200A). Plastic looks durable. The pouch does not look like made to last. DC current always has some residual reading, have to ZERO out everytime before taking a reading. Beeping function seem to drain the battery fast. LCD backlight dims when it sounds.

got everything going for it.. thumb wheel selector - great clamp current prongs - easy to use ( need to zero the meter with test circuit lead in the clamp) measures DC or AC current - very handy compact - fits in pocket or can live in the tool box auto turn off - terrific best addition to the tool kit I've had in a long time -

Overall a good basic unit to measure current of a single wire like positive or negative, or a single live wire in AC. very easy to use, just make sure to press the Zero button once before the actual measurment, more important with fine currents. Used it to see what my car electrics were drawing. Only bad thing is the backlite turns off way too quickly and is annoying.

This is a good meter for measuring dc current via the clamp. A lot of other clamp meters only work at impractically high currents. A lot won't do DC at all. Unfortunately defaults to AC measurements but that is a minor inconvenience. Great value at that price. A great general purpose meter for working on cars and boats.
