Gardner Bender Sperry Instruments DSA500A Digital Snap-Around Clamp Meter, 5 Function, 9 Range, 400-600V AC/DC, with Case, Measures Outlet & Panel

The Sperry Instruments DSA500A Digital Snap-Around Clamp Meter is a versatile tool for measuring current and voltage. While it doesn't measure DC amperage, it does measure both AC and DC current and voltage. It is not a True RMS meter and does not measure millivolts. The meter comes with a set of leads and a thermocouple for added functionality. It does not have current peak capture capability, making it a basic volt-ohm meter. One reviewer noted that the meter does not produce a tone when continuity is detected, but this can be resolved by selecting the ohms-diode-continuity function and pressing the SELECT button twice. Another useful feature is the NCV (non-contact voltage) function, which can be used by bringing the meter near a powered wire or extension cord. While some users found the meter to be of good quality and value for the price, others expressed disappointment. One reviewer called it a "toy" and mentioned that the leads fall out easily, rendering the meter useless. Another reviewer complained about the lack of a beeping sound when checking continuity, which was a feature they missed. One user also mentioned a previous experience with a faulty meter that read AC voltage higher than it actually was. Overall, the Sperry Instruments DSA500A Digital Snap-Around Clamp Meter is an average meter with its Pros and Cons. It offers basic functionality at a reasonable price, but may not be suitable for more professional or technical applications.
