I recently purchased a flir cm 83 and I'm very happy with it as I service
commercial hvac systems.
I have a fluke 87v which is excellent but wanted a separate
clamp meter. It has a limited lifetime warranty and no other manufacturer i've come across has that on a clamp meter. technicians should be buying quality meters. Flir just doesn't have a history yet. Their meter have a very roboust build quality. I'm more than happy with my cm 83!!! I think fluke finally has sore serious competion outside agilent. quality meters are about accouracy and precise repeatability. I done buying meters with a 2-3 warranty.
The fluke 87v is tops because it maintains its high accouracy over years; which is build quality.
Their is a clamp meter that has it all for hvac techs. but the clamp meter only has a 1 year warranty! NO good! Save up for the best if staying in the field!!

fluke 87v, 179 (field proven) or flir for dmm 93.
Flir has a clamp meter cm 72/74 which is perfect for hvac techs. looking for a clamp meter. limited lifetime warranty, very well built or go fluke in clamp meter.
However flir is has extremely good product, do not count them out!!!!
Been using a 87V with i200s clamp
Its been working good for me.
The s clamp is able to read lower current than the regular clamp(s) which is nice too.
