  I will give 5 stars for the excellent quality-price ratio.

  I will start with the negatives of the device, perhaps the only negative and the most obvious is that unfortunately it does not measure amperage (Ampere) in direct current (DC), which means that if you are a photovoltaic technician or have similar applications with direct currents, you will need to invest more money for another device.

  In the positive comments, everything else is mentioned. For 30 euros, I expected poor plastic quality and device quality, but I was surprised that it looks fresh from the market, there are no sharp edges, it is made of quality hard plastic with precise details on the mold and letters.

  It measures alternating current with good accuracy, with a scale of 4/40/400A, the clamp is sturdy and opens and closes properly. It has the ability to measure voltage accurately up to CAT II 600V, although I would not recommend it for currents higher than 380/400V, as such a clamp does not have such certification. It is ideal for low voltage single-phase and three-phase currents up to 400V.

  It also has resistance, continuity testing capabilities, and something else that surprised me, it also measures simple diodes and capacitors only in nF, which you may not need, where a multimeter will do a better job for such cases.

  Additionally, it has a non-contact voltage indication/warning (Non Contact Voltage or NCV), but due to the size of the tool, it is not the most ergonomic compared to a phase meter.

  In conclusion, I highly recommend it to young electricians like myself. I repeat that this particular device is unfortunately not suitable for photovoltaics, but it is a very good choice for panels, automation, and motors.
