I use the Fluke 902. A little pricey, but it's fallen out of my tool bag when climbing up onto the roof a commercial building onto a concrete parking lot and still works like a champ. Very easy to use as well. Most of my co-workers make fun of me for using it though because they all use the Fieldpiece meter that has the different heads you can attach.

any meter with a min/max button should suffice, all of my fieldpiece clamps have the ability

Strkout
I saw where it has the hold but does it hold max hold like when checking peak LRA?

Has anyone had any experience with
Amprobe ACDC-54NAV ?
I'm trying to find a clamp metere that does microamps. Does Fluke make one that i just haven't seen?? Is Amprobe better than fieldpiece?

I got a fluke 902, 87, and a t5-1000. I recently got a fieldpiece sc56, and absolutely love it. The only complaints I have is the leads are shorter than My flukes leads, and I don't like their alligator clips as Well.

I have always been happy with my fieldpiece LT17A - microamps, temp, min/max hold, magnet holder, amp clamp - just not RMS. Good price too, amazon has them for $125.

Thanks to all you for your input it is very helpful.
I'm going to try the Fluke 376 or 902, I currently have a Fluke 30 so I'm comfortable with it.
Thank so much
