Here's a cheaper alternative. I have one, so far no problems.

I think I will pick that one up this week some time. I was gonna bite the bullet and by the fluke pack with the two clamps one of them does large pipe. Now I've been using this velcro wrap probe from fluke and am very dissapointed but it is good for the large pipe diameters. 2 in and over.

I have a Fluke probe with the velco, I hate it! A plain bead probe with a piece of Armaflex and two cable ties works much better.
