A clamp meter is basically an electrical tester. It is a kind of a meter which combines a voltmeter with a clamp-type current meter. It is similar to a multimeter, and now the clamp meter has passed through the analog period and into the digital world of today. So, now you would seldom find clamp meters which are analog. Most of them like the Fluke Clamp Meter now function digitally.

Clamp meter as the name suggests has a clamp like apparatus which clamps around a wire or a cable which carries electric current in order to measure the current passing through it. The Digital Clamp Meter gives a digital value of the clamp meter and is used to measure the current accurately and precisely up to at least 5 decimal values.
Buying a good meter which will give you accurate results is thus very important and you should make sure to invest in a good one which would work well even in the harshest of conditions. The first and foremost thing to decide is the brand you want to invest in. There are hundreds of brands in the market, but you should go for the one which has been in the market for long and is a reliable brand. It is also important to know that clamp meters which are insanely expensive do not always make a good meter. You should not invest more than $50 for a clamp meter from any brand.
The clamp meter will also be used to measure currents which are very high. So take care of the safety rules that have been kept in mind for the meter. The meter should meet the important specifications of safety and only then you should buy them otherwise you are risking your life with a huge surge of electricity.
