I'd like a 2K F version myself. Much the same - I melt metal...

I have used with comparison matches an Extech 'Amp-probe' like jaw current
meeter. It was a hall effect unit and was tested by a large company
and was shown to be a good bargain and ample for the work intended.

I have a 1000 amp HP clamp - but I don't need that often :-)

I put an IR thermometer on my Christmas list, suggesting an Extech

that will read to 1600F or 900C for heat treating steel?
