SNAP-ON LOW AMP CLAMP METER - EEDM570 - TEST AND REVIEW

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I was just looking at buying one of these myself for parasitic draw testing. I'm glad you just did a review on it.

[@brentm3280]

Fluke meters are the top of the line for electricians I know snap on isn't junk but electricians rely on fluke meters every day to save their life and I have personally used them for years. I know a lot of mechanics feel like if you don't have snap on everything then you're nobody but check out fluke the price point is much better.

[@daddyjay319]

I happen to agree with you on the Fluke 88 . Only problem is when you measure miliamps in series that fuse is something like $8 dollars and fluke 88 has two fuses. .

[@ethansprojects7399]

Never thought I’d hear that the price point for fluke is much better

[@AK-IT]

What is Flukeʻs low current clamp meter? Something that has a large clamp opening for battery cables.

[@410AutoTech]

Great job I needed this our snappy guy been out for 5 weeks still with his shoulder injury. Keep it up!!

[@weldingjunkie]

410 Auto Tech now ours is out with his shoulder lol 401 area code

[@louiemunoz2753]

Can this meter be connected with a graphic meter?

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I have the same meter and love it. It’s the first thing I grab when checking for amp draw.

[@sonnysjsu]

can i use clamp meter without mA scale to measure parasitic test ? for example the EEDM570D, the one has a larger Amp scale to compare with this one.

[@Jakobiey]

Can you do a parasitic draw for batteries? Also can you talk about why you are using it in AC volts?

[@RedemptionGarage]

Im still looking at clamp meters and not sure which one i would like. Thanks for the review that defintely looks like a nice one!

[@ederlet9090]

Can you test misfires with it on old cars or when the check engine doesn’t come on but you feel a miss?

[@mrgalea100]

Can I connect this to my snap on scanner for the scope function?

[@josephmartinez249]

Did you ever find out ?

[@josephmartinez249]

I bought this think I could use it for ramp testing with my scanner. Do you know if that’s possible with this item?

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

Pretty Nice, but I'm really digging that scan tool style looking one you have. That one Looks pretty sweet! do you know if it can be used on Hybrids?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Justin Dow thanks! And it will read the voltage but will not do isolation tests like with the fluke 1587

[@automedic9781]

Rustbelt Mechanic Could you explain what an isolation test is, and when/why one would need to do them? I’ve been looking at the Fluke 1587 for a few weeks

[@RustbeltMechanic]

TheMillennialMechanic an isolation test is for hybrid system diagnostics. In a simple way it checks for continuity between the high voltage and low voltage systems of a hybrid by sending a low amperage high voltage pulse through the system to be sure that the two are “isolated” from each other

[@automedic9781]

Rustbelt Mechanic Thank you so much

[@cliftonsr]

Will output to the Snap-On oscilloscope of the Modus Edge and other scanners?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Nope not this one

[@cliftonsr]

All they would have to do is have a toggle switch to bypass the display and use with the scope on the scanner so there would be no interference readings to be a low amp clamp for scope.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

You did a goooooood JOB buddy!

[@tamaplayer22]

Why does it say ac amps and dc on the other meter

[@robertmullen2480]

can this type of clamp be used with a scope to see current wave form

[@RustbeltMechanic]

This one is not really meant for scope use, and I didn’t really have the correct cables to try and use it like that with our Zeus.

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I don’t believe it has an output. The two plug ins are inputs for the voltage and resistance testing. I will have to look at the specs again but the response time may not be fast enough for scope use anyway.

[@kcle7293]

How well would it work for 4-20 milliamp reference in your opinion

[@RustbeltMechanic]

That is the very lowest of the tools functional spectrum in my opinion. May not be the best for being accurate that low

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. Like the tool demonstration. I like that it's slim and pretty accurate. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

[@bigblock53]

i would like to know if it will do alternator amps and starter draw amps. and i see that it isnt that accurate try to have the wire not in a coil.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Andy Ostensen guess it just depends on amperage output of what your working on. It will max out at 100A

[@bigblock53]

@@RustbeltMechanic snap on web site is doing updates now so ill look later

[@kysmogandtestonly2316]

DO SOME TESTING WITH IT

[@H750S]

Thanks for the video, looking at getting one of those amp clamps. Couple questions though...the meter connected in series is set to mA and is reading 4.100, isn’t that just over 4ma and not 410mA? Also noticed when the inductive clamp is clamped over the wire it shows 410mV +- but it looks like it’s showing AC not DC despite measuring LED’s. Did it just default to ac for some reason? Thanks again for the videos, good stuff!

[@RustbeltMechanic]

You caught that ☝️ so also see the coil of leads as well... that amplified it over that amount....that level of draw on those small amount of leds is at the bottom end of the spectrum for readings on the meter. And yes it just defaulted to that after I had pressed the ac/dc button on prior testing. 👍

[@edwinmartinez5530]

Already got thr other dmm paid 799 willing buy tha one meter

[@kcle7293]

Thank you for the feedback do you know if snapon makes a meter with clamp for 4-20 ma

[@Steve_A71]

Is that a GB150 on your box?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

No it’s just the gb70, but I am eyeballing that gb150 pretty hard

[@oldsilkhat7893]

Am I wrong by seeing this tool only measures AC voltage and current? there weren't any DC symbols on the front

[@brentg8600]

Yes u are wrong, it does DC and has the DC symbol on the front as well (the straight line above the AC symbol means both AC and DC)

[@chekelley6861]

Snap on website says it’s not True RMS.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

They must have it wrong on the website because it says so on the meter, on the packaging and I spoke with TPI ( the manufacturer) who also said it is

[@chekelley6861]

Maybe I misread it. Thank you!

[@bobomomo3764]

Which clamp meter would help me the most as a hobbyist : 1- Uni T UT210E mini pro, with these DC ranges: Volt (0.1mv - 600v) Amp (0.1mA - 100A) ➡️Good for parasitic draw test, but don't go for high ranges 2- kaiweets HT208D, with these DC ranges : Volt (600 mv - 1000 v) Amp (60A - 1000A) ➡️ No low reading for parasitic draw test, but has high ranges Can I choose type 1 to do most car diagnoses as a hobbyist , or I need both types? ☺️💛Thanks

[@NNITRED]

The HT208D can do real Inrush measurement but it bottoms out at .01A. If you get it under the habotest badge it's like $40. The other thing is size. She's a biggun.

[@tropicanastamesa9226]

Why is your amp clamp on AC and your meter is on DC?

[@peteromprey9253]

great job! I thanks for the review well done

[@willyqueen4066]

Thanks great video and great meter

[@tylermoline8362]

Great content

[@badphil71]

you should try this with normal test leads not a roll up style... and stay away from the rolled up leads when testing... bet the low amp clamp is more accurate.

[@coreysuttles1362]

Awesome video bro thank you for great content!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jessecanales9000]

This guy is in love with Snap On wrong ideas

[@joshspulnik3140]

Thanks for sharing cool video Swr

[@daddyjay319]

Great informative video .. The Snap on amp clamp looks like the ESI 688 amp clamp ..as far as the specs sheet the ESI 688 is capable down to 1 miliamp... Would you happen to know if the Snap On amp clap can do the same ..

[@jasonc.4683]

I'm wondering the same thing my friend. Some evap systems when they are testing itself it's in the milliamp range but the scan tools dont have a pid for the them but it can force the system to close and start testing but u will never know if u have a leak or not. With an amp clamp that handy saves time breaking out the scope and setting up. I will ask my snap on rep on Tuesday if it can. If it does then I'm sold. Not hearing good reviews on that ESI 688.

What!!!! While I'm on, you sly fox lol

[@8power0]

NO LIE PRETTY GOOD AMP CLAMP AND I DON'T REALLY LIKE SNAP-ON .

[@henryrobinson9837]

why didn't you do a drain test on a vehicle, mechanics need 20ma range or less for those test at least to 5 ma, i saw the drift, i got 40 dollar clamp on with that much accuracy, way overpriced without low amp readings

[@jeremyproctor9671]

Why would anyone buy this at this price point when you can get Fluke meter for cheaper ? and just as good or better im a little perplexed

[@azeezsalvador2361]

He has being SNAPONtized.

[@jeremyproctor9671]

@@azeezsalvador2361 lol I believe it

[@unclejesse88]

Which fluke meter are you talking about. Half of them dont measure dc, and the ones that do aren't low amps, minimum being 60 amps. Maybe I missed the low amps one on their website
