Thank you for this review sir. I am from the Philippines. I bought today an HT206D with a brand name of HABOTEST and it looks exactly like the one on your video except for the brand name. My reason for buying is to measure the AC/DC current. Your video taught me a lot about how to use this instrument.
Why didn't the meter read the amperage of the space heater being that the heater was well under 60 amps even taking inrush into consideration? That's odd...... I initially bought this meter as a cheap back up for my Fluke 323 clamp multimeter. I did use the Kaiweets alongside my Fluke just so I could see the difference in accuracy. They're both very accurate. One thing I'll give the Kaiweets over the Fluke is that the Kaiweets measures both AC and DC amperage. The Fluke only reads AC amperage. As for durability, the Fluke is virtually indestructible as far as multimeters go. My Fluke took an almost three story drop out of my bag and onto some grass as I was climbing a ladder to access a rooftop HVAC unit. I figured it was toast as I watched it tumble to the ground. When I went back down to retrieve it, I was pleasantly surprised and even shocked to find my Fluke meter virtually unharmed other than some dirt, grass and a little scuf mark on the bottom corner of the meter where it obviously landed. As to reliability, both the Fluke and Kaiweets have proven their reliability to me. Due to an injury a few years back, I had to hang up my spurs as a journeyman HVAC tech. So I sold my Fluke 323 as I didn't need two clamp multimeters and the Kaiweets is more versatile. It has never let me down when I need it. From cold to hot weather and drastic temp changes, which a lot of lesser expensive multimeters don't always handle well, the Kaiweets has matched my Fluke for reliability although my Fluke had A LOT more and frequent use. But, for roughly 1/3 of the price of a comparable Fluke, unless you're in an electrical field, this Kaiweets clamp multimeter is all a typical DIY homeowner will ever need. That I can assure you. I still have my Fluke 116 digital multimeter which is specifically designed for HVAC techs. It more or less never leaves my work bench. It's rather bulky and heavy whereas the Kaiweets is smaller and lighter. So unless I'm at my workbench if I need to use a multimeter I use my Kaiweets, especially for anything automotive. Just having the clamp to use as a clamp comes in pretty handy under the hood or dash of a rig. Or when I'm digging around in the wiring of my old boat I'm slowly restoring, having a smaller multimeter with a clamp has been very convenient at times. My only gripe is that I can't set the blacklight to stay on like I can my Fluke. But it's not hard to push a button, turn the backlight on and take my reading. It's more of an inconvenience than anything. But like I said before, for at least 1/3 the price of a Fluke, the Kaiweets is pretty hard to beat, especially for the DIY homeowner or backyard mechanic.
Just remember that I had it on a 10X multiplier so that could simulate higher current. The actual current was 6.15A, but multiplier was giving it 61.5A. That's why it wouldn't read it in 60A range.
I believe this meter is the same meter found on Amazon under the name of DEWENWILS HT206D. If you look at both meters, they appear identical. The Dewenwils is priced at $29 as of February, 2022.
Yeah, someone else mentioned the Dewenwils previously as being the same thing as the Kaiweets HT206D. This is very common in the Chinese DMM market - many models are sold by several companies who probably source their meters from the same manufacturing facility.
Thanks for the thorogh review. I bought this meter a while back from Amazon, they had a coupon I believe for 15% off. I have a different meter I use fro my electronics hobby. I bought this one mainly for the AC/DC current clamp function, to use Electrical and automotive current checking. Like you mention in your video, if you are a maintenance person or homeowner looking for low cost AC/DC clamp meter this will give you very close in the ballpark readings.
It's fairly useful across the board - not the best for work on an electronics bench but even there it would do the job as long as your measurements fall into the ranges this meter has.
great video, I purchased this from Amazon (not here yet) with the clamp meter will I be able to measure the total amps my main circuit breaker is using? I wanted to add a 50 amp breaker to it and I want to make sure I have enough room.
Assuming that breakers are wired separately for positive and negative, then yes - you should be able to measure for current. If it's a single wire that has everything - then no. Polarities have to be separated for it to measure accurately.

Same exact meter - just with a different badge.

thanks for the great review
Glad you like it. Thanks.
I just got one of these. I feel like I should’ve just got the Klein one that is like it..
Can I use this meter to measure the Hz output from a 110V AC generator? My generator RPM’s are off so I need to calibrate it.
Just ordered a Dewenwils 206D. Same meter only yellow. Half the price
Yeah it seems most of these cheaper meter models tend to be sold by multiple manufacturers.
Hello, in INRUSH mode, measure the inrush current reading in the car
This meter should be able to do an in-rush current reading since it has a MAX/MIN function.
What's the short circuit current in diode check mode?
Sir please test new clamp meter kc 602 kaiweets colour display same testing soon
