The 337 is a nice meter.

Pro: Inrush current feature is really handy, no more 9V batteries, backlight, auto zero.

Con: Jaws are a little small for 750 MCM or dual 500's and a little big for tight boxes.  DC volts limited to one decimal, making that feature inadequate for 12V systems.

Yes, they do.



I have recently started using a couple of small Extech meters and I find them really handy.  Small clamp fits in tight spaces, and there are a couple models with low current scales that give better resolution on small loads.
