I like our newest Greenline clamp meter, even though they are sold at Home Depot. Fluke is the "gold standard" but rarely will you need or use the features in simple DC auto mechanics. You get what you pay for, just like most tools. I have a cheaper Craftsman meter that goes with me in the field toolbox and it has been a very good tool. Amp clamp is useless for DC but is nice for hanging the meter within view, expensive units allow for the add-on of a DC amp gauge. Those are nice but too expensive for most garage mechanics.
