Swapped my old multimeter for a clamp meter on compressor checks last week

I used to spend 10 minutes breaking out the hard start kit and amp probe just to check a fridge compressor draw. Last Tuesday I used my new clamp meter on a Whirlpool and had the diagnosis in 30 seconds flat. Has anyone else made the switch and felt silly for not doing it sooner?

@joel_hall17 Nah, I just didn't have the right tool so I MacGyvered it with what I had. Now I feel like a caveman who just discovered fire.

Wait, you had to break out a hard start kit just to check compressor draw?
