Is this geezer on drugs?
What was the point in that post? Most multi meters only test to 10amps so for anything more they're useless. All you need is an amp clamp multi meter, good for 600amps, or an inductive ammeter they cost pence. But in this technological world you can buy a digital ammeter with fuse adapter on the end for five quid. A lot easy than than mess in the pictures! Stick to stealing car stereos!
Mate, In the 12V dc car/house world nearly every part/motor with the exception of a car starter motor, is less then 10A, the only other common exceptions being high output car sound amplifiers, perhaps some air conditioning units, so a 10A MultiMeter £10 or 20A MultiMeter £30 is more then adequate.
Clamp MultiMeters and PAT testers are useless junk, they are a joke, they're expensive mickey mouse nonsense(Metal conducts, but NOT wirelessly!)
And the other meters, are a waste of time & money (Make a circuit, wait an hour, or average out 10 mins over an hour). I guess your making reference to finding out the ampage of a starter motor, goto Halfords (Or your main dealer) and ask them the part (starter motor) specification, it sayes on the side of the box.
