ANENG ST209 Digital Clamp Multimeter - True RMS 6000 Count

Any Electronics Maker knows, electronics operate on voltages and current draws, with the common perception of voltage being the size of a pipe, and the current being the actual amount of water running through those pipes. And of course, as you have probably found out first-hand, if the voltages and current draws of electronics aren’t matched to a relatively high degree of accuracy, things can go wrong – and sometimes they can go wrong in a spectacular fireworks display. Fortunately, as Modern Makers, we have access to so many different great Tools and pieces of equipment nowadays, and we these tools allow us to test, measure and prototype our projects with a high degree of precision, allowing for fewer fireworks displays, fewer damaged components and modules, and overall more success when working on various projects.

This ANENG ST209 is a cool Digital Clamp Multimeter that features 6000 Counts True RMS, with convenient auto ranging up to 400V. It utilises the standard probe style interface for measuring voltages, but steps it up with a super handy clamp style head for measuring current as well, which means you can simply fit the clamp around wiring instead of having to connect probes up inline just to see the current draw. Of course, this works on both AC and DC current, making it great for hobbyist work as well as for around a house, office or workshop, and the relatively simple user interface ensures that it’s quite easy to use even for beginners who don’t know the advanced functions that most multimeters offer. These features all add up to create one of the nicest multimeters that we’ve had in stock so far, and after testing it out for a good number of different applications, we’re happy to say that this is a fantastic multi-purpose Test & Measurement tool that will fit well into the toolbox or workshop of any professional or hobbyist alike.
