Which is better, digital clamp meter or multimeter?

According to different places where electricians are used, they have their own advantages and disadvantages, so we can't simply say which one is better. The following are their main differences:

1. Function: The main function of digital clamp meter is to measure current, while multimeter has more measuring functions, such as AC and DC voltage, current, diode, capacitance, frequency and temperature.

2. Scope of application: The digital clamp meter is suitable for measuring the current in the circuit, and can be directly stuck in the circuit under test without disassembling the power supply. Multimeter has more complete functions, more accurate measurement and wider application scope, such as the measurement of fine products such as circuit boards and electronic components.

3. Cost performance: Digital clamp meters are usually cheaper than multimeters and more economical for electricians who only need to measure current.

To sum up, digital clamp meter and multimeter have their own advantages, and the specific choice depends on the actual demand and budget. If only the current needs to be measured, the digital clamp meter is a good choice; If you need to measure a variety of parameters with high precision, it is more appropriate to choose a multimeter.
