I find myself buying a new tool fairly often. I'm sure I'm not alone, so I figured might as well have a thread to post up new tools that follow us home.
Today's addition:
I've been on the search for another multimeter since I let all of the smoke out of mine a couple of months ago. Decided to grab a clamp meter this time, and in my research, kept seeing Kaiweets brought up, and spoken very highly of.
Now I usually shy away from cheap Chinese tools, in particular electronics. But this was looking too good to pass up, especially compared to the cost of similar Fluke and Klein units. Add to that a 50% off coupon on the Amazon listing right now and I had to pull the trigger.
KAIWEETS Smart Digital Clamp Meter

I've only messed around with it a little bit, but so far I'm impressed. Smart function that automatically detects the needed setting, but also buttons to allow for manually setting the unit. Also has Inrush, non-contact voltage tester, auto-ranging, thermometer along with an attachable thermocouple, and a decent little zipper case. For $27, I figured it was worth a shot, so now we'll see how long it lasts.
