    Same meter with a NIST calibration certificate.

    Work that requires documented calibration.

Purchase links appear where the exact offer is verified. Confirm the named model, quantity and accessories before ordering.

Watch out

  • 2235-20nst is the NIST-calibrated kit, not a different meter.
  • 2236-20 is the 600 A HVAC/R model with temperature; 2237-20 adds DC current.

Why people pick it

  • True-RMS AC sensing, per the manual, so readings stay accurate on non-sinusoidal loads like VFDs and dimmers
  • Measures up to 400 A AC through the jaw and 600 V AC/DC through the leads without swapping tools
  • CAT III 600V rating with a 1 m drop test, suited to panel work
  • Backlight plus a built-in LED work light for dark panels and cabinets
  • Runs on cheap, easy-to-find AAA batteries included in the box

Know before you buy

  • AC current only through the jaw; there is no DC current measurement (the 2237-20 adds that)
  • No temperature, capacitance, frequency or microamp ranges, so it is not aimed at HVAC/R work (see the 2236-20)
  • No auto-ranging detail, data logging or PC connection
  • 400 A AC ceiling: large motor inrush or parallel-feed measurements can exceed it (the 2236-20 reads to 600 A with 1500 A peak)
