My comments:
I tested the blue version (on the upper picture).
This meter is well worh of the price. it works as advertised and seems to be well constructed. Comparung to the features it has at the lowest price this is a bargain comapred to the features it has. Instrument worth to take to the field and carry in a soft case with a strap (comes in meter package).
If you are looking for a cheap open jaw current meter plus multimeter this product is worth to check out. Open jaw is the special part of this meter, much easier to use than traditional clamp meters in many case. The open jaw measuring works for AC currents from 100 mA up to 200A (100 mA resolution).
The design is good for intended purpose.
The meter fitst nicely on the hand and is easy to operate even with one hand only. The shape of the case is such that it can hold the tips of the measurement leads (hold one tip on the meter that is on your left and and then use right hand to control the location of other tip).
The open jaw part of this meter works well, bit could be a little bigh for very tight electrical installations. Check your your intended use.
General notes on open jaw multimeters: There are other open jaw meters that have open jaw parts that can be placed to tighter spaces and some even measure DC. Those meters are much much more expensive.
