For the "occasional" user , there are several cheaper meters that will do the job very well , I have two or three different clamp on amp meters Chinese and American that all read with in a 1/10 amp of each other (not bad for clamp-on's) .

Just depends on how much you want to spend !
Yeah I have 3 Fluke DVM's and Fluke 50MHZ scope meter but I'm not going to own a clamp on Fluke probe! Most of the big box guys have reasonably priced clamp on meters but they are only A/C current. Little bit of a heads up for those looking for a amp meter many say A/C D/C but they will not do D/C current just A/C they kind of get you because they will do D/C voltage.
