Ideal Industries61-765 660 Amp TightSight Clamp Meter AC/DC with TRMS, True RMS Current and Voltage, CATIII for 1000v, CATIV for 600v

Product arrived very quick as have most Amazon orders I've placed recently. The Ideal 61-765 looks to be a great clamp meter. I opted for this one as it is capable of both AC/DC current measurement. It looks to be well built. Although there is no indication as to how well it will tolerate being dropped, I surmised that a meter that is used by many electricians etc. would have to stand up reasonably well to abuse for them to be using them (this is of course conjecture on my part). Haven't had it long, but the testing I've done show it to be quite accurate, and thus far I would have no reservations about recommending it for serious consideration as an option to anyone desiring to get a decent quality meter at an affordable price.

Why didn't anyone think of this before? This is something that should have been done years before this was released.I have to take readings on variety of different types of equipment - air conditioning, industrial ice plant equipment, commercial cranes, marine equipment, power pedestals ... Quite a bit of the equipment has restricted access (to put it nicely) and trying to attach a meter and read the display is difficult at best. Funny thing i s that usually you have a clear view of the but of the meter when it is in place.The display is not always easily readable in the direct sun (most displays are though). Definitely make taking readings easier.

The ideal tight sight tester is simply amazing. From the back lot screen to the bottom tight sight view this tester is very handy. Also helpful for me is the max and min feature which has allowed me on multiple occasions of varying load to clamp a wire, hit max and walk away and come back and see the highest ampacity. Overall I’d buy this again for sure.

I purchased this strictly for the bottom lcd view. unless you rip the door off it is useless! set it flat and the door will flip shut. basically with the door on its unusable in any circumstance unless you have someone else holding it. which is supposed to be the purpose of it is for easy view when you dont have a extra hand.

I’m an electrician, I’ve uses a few different multimeters (fluke, Milwaukee etc.). This thing is right up there, love the jaws that actually open wide enough to get around some fatty’s… and the bottom screen is pretty cool, will come in handy at some point for safety I’m sure. I would buy again.
