Default Measuring A/C current

I'm trying to find out what current my space heater uses. Says 1500 watts;
that's about 12A. I have a clamp-on current meter. Is there a trick to
using one of these on a power cord or do you have to have some kind of
adapter to split the power cord lines?

Any way to do this to make it simple? I have some other thinfs, like a
radio, that I'd like to measure too. (Trying to run my space heater and a
radio off the same receptacle.)

TIA
