content: The Amazon advert says "Intelligent Identification".I should get one as I have often misjudged people to only later realise they are counts.Perhaps this device will improve my assessment skills.

content: I ordered one. I couldn't be so lucky as to actually receive one with the printing error...but there is always hope.That specific multimeter shall now be known as the "Jim Jefferies" model.

content: Pictures are obvious 3D renders. So the mistake is by whoever textured them.You can see on the customer pictures that the printing on the actual devices is fine.

content: The meter arrived this afternoon. Says "counts", not the other word.Fit and finish are surprisingly good. Has a nice heft and not a cheap hand feel.Tested it on my toaster cord. AC current reading drifts 10% depending where in the clamp aperture the conductor is. I centered the conductor and kept it parallel to the axis of the clamp opening for measurements.I compared it to a P3 "Kill-A-Watt" with true RMS measuring power meter rated 0.3% typ., 1% max AC current accuracy.Manual here:http://www.p3international.com/manuals/p4400_manual.pdfToaster after warm-up:Chinese clamp meter: 7.5 ampsKill-A-Watt: 8.1 ampsSo clamp meter looks 7.5% lowStick a 10A10 diode in the cordChinese clamp meter: 4.6 ampsKill-A-Watt: 5.5 ampsSo clamp meter looks 16% low on an asymmetrical waveform of half-wave rectified AC sine.Conclusion: Feels nice in the hand, but it's junk. (Not that I was expecting it to really be true RMS, as advertised.)
