Summary

  • A teardown of the newly launched Fnirsi DMC-100 has revealed a 10,000-count clamp meter that features a fully button-based interface and surprising functionality for a device that costs around $50.
  • The most impressive features are hidden functions that can be accessed through different lengths of button presses, which allow the user to access hidden menus, memory functions and a graphing mode.
  • It can split-display voltage and current and calculate real-time power, however, it should be noted that this is only apparent power and not power factor.
  • One slight issue is that the flashlight is prone to being triggered when the jaw is squeezed.
