Russ & I have the same clamp on meter.. (Amprobe ACDC3000) Never had a problem with it & seems to be very reliable 10 years later =) I also have a cheap Ideal clamp on for basic stuff, Ideal plug-in tester (Although this is my 2nd one & the ground pin is wiggling loose on this one as well! =( I might try the Hubbell version..)
http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/section-u-datasheet.asp?PN=HBL5200&FAM=OWP I have a "CED" (supply house brand) hotstick or EMF stick... But it's a Fluke by manufacture... Other than that, I have one of the 2/3rds size wiggy's from Ideal... 10 years old & still fine.. A progressive electronics circuit/tone generator.. Works awesome! & some junk meters I've come across here & there... (Radio Shack caliber.. ) That just tend to be a back up stash for when Im in the middle of nowhere!)
