RickyMcGrath Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Specs say 71dB I believe. I filled it up and had a normal conversation with my wife 10 ft away. Also, it didn't startle my 1 year old standing right next to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of guys don't use them for clearance but with several tears in both knees and a really bad back, it's really hard to work from the floor. I actually can't kneel on either knee unless it's really padded and even sometimes when it is really padded, it depends on the day. My one complaint is that the wheels should have covers on them because they tend to hit your legs. Not sure who the OEM is but the quality is very nice, much nicer than any creeper I've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 My recent find on eBay, wanted to add a clamp meter and though I'm a Fluke guy, I figured I'd give Klein a shot. Picked this guy up for $45 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fluke one that plugs into my meter and it seems to work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yup, that's the predecessor to the one I have, mine is the CL800. Now BMack has to shoot some sexy photos of his meter... Nick, there's a lot of advantage to a clamp meter. You can put the clamp around a cable or wire to get readings, rather than stabbing the probes into it. Clamp meters do basically the same thing as standard meters, but having the clamp gives you more versatility. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I bought this used Milwaukee heated hoodie at an auction today for $7.50. Too bad it's only a large, I gave it to my dad's girlfriend. I need to find the power adapter now, I am giving him my m12 drill and impact so he will have 2 batteries.

I have a fluke one that plugs into my meter and it seems to work fine. I bought this one specifically for amperage. A regular multimeter can only do mA or up to 10A*, this can go up to 600 Amps. It also has a non contact voltage check and temp, which are available in some multimeters but none that I own. It(Clamp meter) just makes electrical work easier...but it's not a replacement for my multimeter because of size and it lacks mV. *Multimeters that go up to 10A can only check amperage by breaking the circuit and using the meter as a jumper/fuse. With a clamp meter you don't have to break the circuit, you just need to clamp around the wire. I'm goig to do some testing to see how accurate and quickly in updates, it does seem pretty impressive thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Nicholas' post as a separate clamp that plugs into your meter versus the clamp directly on the meter, and basically it's convenience mostly, I have a separate Blue-Point amp clamp that can plug into my meter but I dont use it just because it's so easy with my current meter that has a clamp as part of the meter.

KnarlyCarl Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I got this Ryobi 10" drill press. For $130 I think it is a great deal! Awesome you decided to go with the Ryobi from the crews suggestions and now here it is! That's how you do it tia style, thanks for the pics and update!

Kato Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Same press I have, and it's a nice little press to use. I'm not surprised when Ryobi makes a good tool but I do have to admit that I expected the press to be a little "substandard"...so far it's been perfect.

Stercorarius Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I had to do a job tearing out a drinking fountain and most of a commercial kitchen including the sinks and dishwasher (big fella) etc. about an hour and a half out of town. It was also just down the road from the nearest HF so I decided to do my quarterly HF run then. I have a problem with overspending at HF so I walked out with $458 . More/better pics to come in my toolporn thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there was any difference at all. It's basically like an expensive different kind of lead. The thing is you have to get a multimeter that supports the add-on and from what I recall(though I haven't really researched a lot) they're lower rated clamps. I think the Fluke version was rated at 400 Amps and I think Fluke claims they have the only Cat III 1000V addon...and it's like $150. The Klein CL800 and CL700 are cheaper than the Fluke addon and you can get a better spec-ed Fluke(compared to the Fluke addon) clamp meter for about the same price. I went with the Klein for the cost and the 2 meter drop resistant body. I was comfortable with giving Klein a shot because I don't need a clamp meter to be super accurate and have a super quick refresh rate. Hoping it surprises me in both of those regards but I won't know for sure until I do some testing on parts, circuits and my variac when I go back to work on Monday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the Amp Clamp set up you guys are talking about? I have the Fluke 179 DMM along with the Fluke 1400 Amp Clamp, love this combo. I also have a Fluke 322 Clamp Meter. Those Klein Meters look real nice with alot to offer for the price... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
