ESI 685 400 Amps DC/AC Current Probe/DMM with Frequency

Bought it mainly just to measure automotive DC current, and it seems to do that just fine. Not sure how well the other fucntions work, other than the voltmeter, which seemed ok. Feels pretty solid to me. Looks like the rubber case needs to be removed to replace tha battery- the instructions supplied with it are not accurate when it comes to describing how this is down. Like the fact it comes with a nice little case.

I need to measure DC amp draws for my work as an auto technician. This tool makes my work easier as I can now find the wire/circuit that is causing the draw. Great product at a great price!

I felt compelled to write this review after reading the poor review left by the other fellow. I like this tool. I bought it and use it for only one purpose, as an inductive DC ammeter. I run an electrical auto repair shop and I use this tool daily for measuring parasitic draws. Its really convenient, and as accurate as it gets in this price range. I have never used its DMM capabilities, and I have never even attached leads to it. A regular consumer may want to heed the other reviewers advice if he is planning on using all the features, but for an automotive professional who is looking for a "first look" inductive amp probe to add to his tool box, this is hard to beat.

I bought this meter specifically for the DC low amp function. And as far as I can tell, it works. I have yet to test it against a higher quality meter, to see if they read the same though. As for the quality... It’s cheap. Super cheap. The dial hangs up and gets stuck while rotating it. Putting the battery in it is a pain, so I hope it lasts a long time. Overall, you get what you pay for.Update 12/10/18After 2 months of using the continuity function has quit working.

Great tool we bought it again because we accidentally broke the old one

Useless for Automotive applications if you need to measure down to the 10 milliamp range. ES685 specs claim it will read as low as 10 milliamps. First one I received after being zeroed, would fluctuate as much as 90 milliamps before being clamped around the circuit and then once removed from circuit the unit would continue with a false reading. Returned product for warranty and new unit is still useless with false readings. Spend the extra money for a decent unit!

A very good meter. I have been using it for a limited time and it has performed well, so far.

Very awesome tester I use it first before my Fluke very handy
