Best Clamp Meter to Buy: 600A DC/AC, Small Clamps, Multifunction, Switching, Brands, LR6 Battery

Question

I would like it to meet the following requirements:
o Current measurement DC and variable.
o The clamps are small in size so that I can press into the wiring harness.
o Possibility of as many different measurements as possible.
o Measurement of the instantaneous current during switching on.
o Current measurement up to 600A is enough for me.
o Any brand of the meter.
o Price.
o Long battery life.
o It is best if it is powered by LR3 (6) batteries.

For example: KYORITSU KEWMATE 2000 600A in the wiring harness?

Hello!
I use the UT-204 occasionally (only max 400A), it's cheap and in most works it is enough only once a year, I have to set it to "0" and don't regret damaging it.
For higher currents (AC) Gossen PL-Flex comfortable with Rogowski coils and max 20kA,
and a little lower LEM-Flex RR3000 (also AC)

I have the UT-201 and it works too. If you do not care about True RMS, the price difference is significant. There are also other differences, but you have to compare for yourself.

With this current, the colleague did not overdo it?

If it's for me about the 20kA With this current, the colleague did not overdo it? it is in three ranges: 200A / 2kA / 20kA and the fact that I only had to turn on the latter twice.

I have a voltcraft vc-531, I recommend it, clamps for measurements of direct and alternating current + small multimeter

I would like to thank the esteemed group for suggestions regarding the recommended meter.
As a last resort, I bought a UT-204 meter.
After a short use, I can tell you about one weight that I noticed,
these are microscopic symbols of the scope of work.
To be fully happy in this measure, I miss:
o PEAK HOLD - peak value measurement
o Indication of the phase rotation direction.
Well, but for this money I don't think you can buy anything better,
and such a CHAUVIN ARNOUX F205 meter for occasional measurements is too expensive.

This is the smallest disadvantage. I have this meter and for me the disadvantage is: -too slender jaws, they should be more elongated and narrowing quite sharply. - it would be nice if it had reading field illumination. I wouldn't be offended for peak hold; here you are right. Well, on the other hand, for the money .....
