Need clamp multimeter with better displays than Klein CL390

[samsamsammy]

Ok so, I need urgent help re: a better clamp multimeter than Klein CL390! To be honest, I really like that one. It's got every tiny detail, every little feature I need. But its visibility sucks! Like it's very hard to see the display during the day so what's the point of using it on my solar panel, right?

Really need a suggestion ASAP. It doesn't matter if the clamp multimeter isn't the best concerning accuracy but as long as I see the reading then it's good to go.

your Klein CL390 is solid but yeah that screen is a joke in sunlight.. for solar panel work you need something you can actually read without squinting like a grandma! you grab a Fluke 325. It's got a bright display that dont mess around in the day and its tough enough for whatever you throw at it. accuracy is not the fanciest but you will see the numbers clear as day..

The Fluke 325 looks like it's EXACTLY what I need! So that helps a lot. Klein is really good and TBH more my taste as I am aiming for something more minimalist, but I figured the Fluke (although the reading is an ugly green) is a solution. Surely I'll see the numbers clearly.

It's great to see this thread being useful! For sure, the Fluke 325 is easy to track down online, lots of retailers stock it. You can find it on Amazon, Grainger, and even at some solar supply stores. It's a solid choice if you're looking for clear, easy-to-read numbers in daylight without any hassle. Is anyone else here using a different option for solar work in bright sunlight?
