How often to you think you'll use it, and how important is accuracy?
Good questions. I use my regular multimeter I guess not a lot, but throughout the year at my rentals and whatnot. I'm not sure what all I would do with a clamp meter, but I'm also not sure what all they do that I might find handy.
On accuracy, I'm not too bright with electrical stuff. How much accuracy do you need with something like getting the wattage of my well pump? I'm guessing not a lot, but I could be wrong. I just need to be sure I'm close enough to be within the generator's range.
I have needed accuracy with my regular multimeter, but only on small stuff that I couldn't even get the clamp meter on.
If I had more uses for it, I'm not opposed to up to the $100 or so range, and would then rather have a better meter anyway. If it's of limited use, cheaper is better. :)
