My Son bought Klein CL-2000's for his service van's .
I have the following , Extech EX730 and 640, 1-klein CL-2000, 1 -Amprobe ACDC-100, 1-Fluke 375 (currently in the MH tool box) , several other Amprobe AC/DC meters and a couple of Fluke AC/DC current adapters.
several of these were acquired from pawn shop's or yard-sales, but even looking on the web a good "clamp-on" can be had for under $200 but YES, you do have to watch what you buy and check the spec's closely on some .
I tend to favor the older "Amprobe" meters but the current carry meter is the Fluke 375.
Yes, all of the above have their roots in China including the Amprobe (assembled in Canada) but have held up well and preformed well over the years.
I know someone is going to ask "WHY" do I have so many ?, simple need at the moment or opportunity / price , I even have a HUGE old "WESTON" clamp-on that you have to change the the meter movement's (heads) to switch from AC to DC. .
Some people collect Stamp's , I seem to collect test equipment ,,,,go figure !
