Line Splitter

I bought this over the competition for several reasons, first... it's compact. Other line splitters have both 1x & 10X loops which make them bulky to carry around & sometimes hard to fit in tight spaces. The second reason is those double units are hard to keep in an AC outlet, they seem to fall out too easily. The third reason I bought the Klein was the name, Klein tools is a name I've trusted for many years. I've used this tool for figuring out current draw of different AC household items so I could figure out how large of a whole house generator I will need.

Worked just like it should. Seems quite durable.

This is a "must have" tool if you have a clamp meter. This is the kind of tool, that once you own a clamp meter, you wonder how you ever did without it. It makes the measurement of both current and frequency far simpler and less intrusive than splitting wires, and repairing them. I found that measurements I wanted, but was loathe to take due to the cosmetic issue of cutting the insulation and/or wires and the hassle of splitting the lines, I now frequently do because it is so easy and non-intrusive. Although the literature with the tool does not mention it, this will measure both current and frequency. Frequency can be detected on a live circuit even if the device is not drawing current as well. The 10x reading has to always be remembered when selecting the range. The 120V water cooler plugged into the device shown in the picture went OL on the 4A setting of my Klein meter, but displayed nicely on the 40A and 400A settings. Be careful on precision assumptions. The same water cooler read 1.307A on the 40A range using the line splitter and 1.26A on the 400A setting a second later. The difference is less than a 1/10th of an amp. Putting the splitter in the case of my clamp meter was possible but tight. It would be nice if the case had a little more room to make it a bit easier, but it did fit and I always put the line splitter in the case as it is often used. It's very light, and although I've had this only 3 months, it's come in very handy on many occasions. It also seems quite durable. All in all, I highly recommend this tool for anyone with a clamp meter. I can't imagine not having it.

This tool should be a minimum requirement as an accessory to Klein Clamp meters. Simple to use - plug your appliance into the splitter, then splitter into the wall outlet. Your clamp meter can now record very accurate AC current measurements from your appliances.

This gadget works great with the Klein clamp-on ammeter.

In top 5 of tools I must have in my electrical tool bag. Right with my test meter, strippers, outlet tester, test probe, ECT. I would recommend to an experienced electrician that's been doin electrical work for 20 years or a soccer mom that just wants to make sure she is going as green as she can get by making sure her appliance's aren't using to many amp things she read about in a magazine. Plus it's almost indestructible! All around one of the tools I wish I would of found along time ago. Get one!

Works as advertised.

performs well.
