Can’t say for that one but I use fluke. By far the best.

If you are going to take half a dozen readings a year, perhaps associated with your Disco looking at battery drain and so on, then it is fine.
If you are going to take measurements in order to earn a living, and especially if you are going to make assurances to others, then you need to go more accurate and repeatable (and that quite often leads to a market leader such as Fluke).
Lost count of Fluke devices in my arsenal, last check was around eight But then they earn me a living.

I'm not convinced the resolution of DC current on that meter will be good enough. I use a UNI-T UT210D on the car and it has been fine for most tasks.Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

his feedback isn't great is it.
maybe worth a go if you are only looking for a current change and not an exact value

good spot.
It looks like he is just putting "UNI-T UT210D" in the title to get search results.
Later is says unbranded
