Thanks. I had to replace batteries in my mini clamp on, left it turned on.
Since then, I took my yellow marker thingie (liquid yellow enamel paint pen
from Napa, like the auto wrecking yard guys use) and marked the rotary
switch, so I can better see if it's turned off.

I also mark the rotary switches of my $3 DMM.

Thank you for the field report, I'm glad they are reasonably accurate. I've
seen the adjuster pot inside, but never adjusted one.

I've tested the $3 specials side by side with my Fluke 87 and not found
any discrepancies. Their update rate is a bit slow, but other than that
they are just fine. The only drawback to the HF mini clamp meter is it's
use of three CR2032 batteries, but I have yet to replace the originals
several years on so it isn't much of a drawback. Again I've compared
that meter with my hall effect AC/DC clamp and Fluke with good
correlation.
