Best amp meter?
I am getting fed up with the amp clamp built in to multi meters and I wondered if there are any one trick meters that are especially good for measuring amps?
I am even looking at analog meters. I just want something that is good for trouble shooting and that always zeroes when there is no wire in the clamp.
What is your favorite?

I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

The fluke 902 always zeros and I really like it!
On generators I use the 325 since it also does dc amps.

If you don't need milivolts, then I'd recommend the Amprobe ACD-51-NAV, it's a real fine meter. If you do need millivolts, then I'd go FP or Klein CL450.

Fluke 381 Remote Display is what I use at work. Allows you to button up the unit you are working on and view the detachable LED screen separately. Just don't forget to add the 2 AAA batteries to the detachable screen before your first use! One of the millwrights here bought one and was ready to send it back to the rep because he said it didn't work.

To only troubleshoot AC and DC currents, a Fluke 36 would do the job.
There are basic clamp meters for simple current measurement, logging clamp meters for troubleshooting and resolving breaker trips, and advanced clamp meters for measuring motor inrush currents.
For one-touch auto zero function I think Extech 380947 would work.
