Not a head to head. 1) Fluke is an industrial meter with credential and 3rd party testing to prove it. Klein is a jobber made meter mass produced cheap and has Klein's name on it. Comparing Klein to Fluke is like comparing a Ford Ranger to a Peterbuilt. They are not even in the same universe. I suggest you define the scope of who where and how the meter will be used first. For example this would be a relevant video if Klein and Greenlee, or Klein and Ideal were head to head. Klein and Fluke??? Apples vs Canelopes or whatever. DIY/home use 120/240 single phase home or home shop the Klein is probably OK. ANYTHING Klein on 3 phase particularly 480V forget it. Fluke is made by Fluke in their factory anywhere in the world they make it. They supervise quality and safety compliance. Check Klein out they DO NOT make this meter. They go to jobbers that build these things by the 10's of thousands for people like Klein every day. This meter states ETL for safety but Fluke has their meters tested to UL61010-1 which for the meter in question is a minimum of 6000V DC pulse test. Klein DOES NOT state tested. Look at the manual! Please there is so much dangerous misinformation out there about the right meter. Cost wise is the LAST possible way to evaluate a meter. Kinda like that cheap minimum auto insurance it's a deal TILL YOU NEED IT! I want you to research meter categories, meter testing, meter impedance, test leads and meter safety BEFORE you do one more review. The categories are critical. Meters like Fluke in the industrial models have the safety and testing to back up the cost and value. You need to know WHY if you plan to suggest or recommend any test device to anybody. Trust me 40 years in the trade, 20 of teaching meter safety and ESWP industrial safe work practices I can speak to this.

Thanks for the detailed comment friend. I agree with some of what you stated. I however DO make it clear that this video is for the “DIY-er” in the very beginning AND for USA buyers.

A few months ago I got an Amprobe (a Fluke brand) ACDC-52NAV from Amazon for $240. It has WAY more features than either of these. Like for example it can measure both the voltage and amps at the same time, so can report the active power (watts) and power factor. It can also report the total THD (current or voltage, and each of the first 25 harmonics individually). It can measure inrush current and phase rotation (for connecting 3-phases correctly). It measures both AC and DC current, resistance, capacitance, beeper, and a few other functions.

@misteraon Ай бұрын

I came to the comments for all the butt hurt Fluke users…and I was not disappointed 😂 I have nothing against Fluke and it is the best IF you can afford it. But in the same price range you get more with the Klein. I have a CL390 and I use it more for amp readings including DC which a fluke in that price range, so it’s not inline as often. That said if working in a commercial setting with higher voltages, the fluke would definitely be the way to go. I would suggest an actual shoot out than a feature list and also a discussion of who each meter would be best suited for. I think Klein makes a good range of meters, while maybe not Fluke level, but are closer in quality than your Harbor Freight or Amazon specials.

If you measure anything above 120/'240 Single Phase (house type panel) you CANNOT AFFORD NOT to to buy Fluke. When that jobber made cheap inside meter by any tool maker blows up in a 480 V 1200 Amp panel the cost of lost wages and pain for you will pale a few hundred bucks for a surge protected, tested and rugged meter like Fluke.

@misteraon Ай бұрын

@@j81851 I generally agree. Although I’ve used my Klein meters on up to 240v 3-phase. Most of what i do is probably lower voltages and electronics work. Heck on of my reasons for getting a clamp meter is so I could take larger out of circuit amp readings. In those cases I think the Kleins do fine. I like Flukes and they are better isolated and fused, but the argument made by some that everyone should buy a Fluke is absurd in my opinion. Most light duty users, DIYers, and electronics hobbyists would be fine with a Klein. Commercial electricians should definitely have a Fluke or something comparable. That is what I felt this type of video should take time to explain.

"Fluke" Multimeter is 1000 times more accurate than the Klein Multimeter. Professional Licensed Journeyman Electrician use "Fluke". Non license Electricians use Klein, because they don't no better.

Really depends what you need a clamp meter for, but if you're dealing with DC you'd want to lean toward the CL800 feature set. Where DC is concerned, it's nice to be able to monitor amperage and figure overall power use under various circumstances - helpful data for planning/designing a power system. LoZ (low impedance) DC voltage testing is helpful for checking batteries, too.

I got rid of these outlets and went to the multi plug off amazon has 5 outlets and 4 USB ports. You just remove the wall plate screw and plug it into any outlet and screw the center in so it locks to the wall. I can easily replace it if gets worn out without having to cut the power.

USB receptacles are convenient in the golden age of unified 5V2A USB charging about 10 years before until all sorts of f*cking fast-charge protocols come out, ruining all the efforts paid to create a standardized way of charging phones. BTW they use up a little amount of energy even if there's nothing plugged in. Nice for public spaces, but not an eco-friendly and economic choice for homes
