Questions & Answers
What's the minimum amperage you can test with the clamp
The Klein Tools Cat. No. CL800 Digital Clamp Meter, AC Auto-Range TRMS, Low Impedance (LoZ), Auto Off can measure both AC/DC current from 10mA-600A, as does the updated model, Cat. No. CL810.
Will this show multiple errors at once. For example if a receptacle is ungrounded and hot/neutral wires reversed?
Klein Tools Cat. No. RT250 will show 1 error at a time.
Are any of the question asked already going to be answered? or am I just wasting my time even looking? Should I just find a Fluke dealer?

what feature will log the highest amps or volts for bursts such as measuring welding current only while the current is flowing?
When the "MAX/MIN" button is pressed, the meter keeps track of the Maximum and Minimum values and the difference between the Maximum and Minimum values as the meter continues to take samples. 1. When measuring, press "MAX/MIN" button to toggle between the Maximum value (MAX) and the Minimum value (MIN). If a new Maximum or Minimum occurs, the display will update with the new value. 2. Press "MAX/MIN" button for more than one second to return to normal measuring mode. For the full features/instructions please see the Instructions/Assembly document under Additional Resources From the Manufacturer
Dose it measure DC
Klein Tools CL800 is an automatically ranging true root mean square (TRMS) digital clamp-meter that measures AC/DC current via the clamp, measures AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance, and tests diodes via test-leads, and temperature via a thermocouple probe.
Can this item/unit be used to trip the breaker in the panel box to de-energize the circuit?
The RT250 is designed to trip the GFCI device not the breaker.
Will this work with the Klein circuit tracer (ET310 receiver)?
No, it will not work as a transmitter for the ET310 receiver.
Can this be used to measure ground rod resistance (so that it is under 25 ohms)?
The CL800 is not designed for ground rod testing.
no. You need a ground resistance meter
