Opinion on a low amp clamp
Jun 30th, 2020 at 4:39am
 
I'm looking to purchase another low amp clamp, one with a wider jaw opening. This will be primarily used for parasitic draw testing.  I am considering these 2.  TA189  and the TA234.  I see a considerable price difference in the 2.   My question... is the  TA189 worth the extra $$$$ over the Ta234 for the type of testing its needed for?

And Tom do you still have any for sale?

IMHO, the TA189 is worth the extra cost.

All I have left here is the TA234 though..

The TA234 works fine but the zero dial is a little touchy.  The TA189 is a better clamp.

I have both and both serve me well. I would agree with Tom's post but have no reservations on owning either.
