Fork Meter GFM 1000-15 (True RMS, Inverted LCD, Measures up to 200 A AC, Non-Contact Voltage Detector, Compatible with Magnet Hanger MH 1, 2 x 1.5 V LR06 (AA))

Well, it's another quality piece of Bosch Professional kit that goes way above and beyond my personal needs. I really like the inverted LCD screen on this, it makes it clear and easy to read. The forks mean that you don't have to conect the test leads, unless you really need to. It's a sturdy build too, it'll take knocks and drops, and just shrug them off. It comes with a chunky manual, batteries, detachable test leads and a handy carrying pouch. The unit itself also has a built in torch, and you can mute the beeps. Measurements are quick, and accurate, and it'll measure a wide range of different units. Price wise, you can get much cheaper un-named brands, but you're paying for quality here, and in relation to other big brands, this is reasonably priced.

This fork meter from Bosch has a solid, professional feel and is clearly built for site work. It's compact, comfortable to hold and the open-jaw design makes current measurements quick without having to disconnect anything. The readings are stable and accurate thanks to the True RMS function, and the inverted LCD screen is easy to see even in dim conditions. I much prefer this style of LCD to dark characters on a light background. It's rated to IP54, so it's fine around dust or light splashes of water, and it feels tough enough to cope with being used every day. The built-in non-contact voltage detector is super handy for quick safety checks, and the optional magnetic hanger is a nice touch if you need both hands free, which I frequently do. It runs on AA batteries but can also take Bosch's special lithium pack for longer sessions, though you have to buy this separately and it's not that cheap. Overall, it's a really well-thought-out and dependable tool that makes electrical work faster and safer, and I can see it lasting me many years. Recommended!

As is usual from Bosch, this is a high quality item, designed to be reliable. You can feel this when you are holding the device, it has a high end feel to it compared to alternatives I have used - which of course do cost less than this device. It works as expected.

Al primo approccio, la buona qualità costruttiva in un dispositivo compatto in appena 300gr di peso, lascia supporre a ragion veduta, che la pinza amperometrica firmata da Bosch sia pensata per un uso professionale, senza comunque escludere un uso anche casalingo per chi vuole affidarsi ad un marchio il cui nome è garanzia di qualità, lunga durata ed ovviamente rilevazioni precise. Progettata con un grado di protezione abbastanza alto (IP54) che la rende impermeabile a polvere e spruzzi d’acqua, la pinza a forcella di Bosch è perfetta per essere impiegata nei cantieri ed in generale per figure tecniche e professionali che ne fanno un uso intenso, compatta quanto basta per operare in spazi più angusti, resistente alle cadute accidentali e riponibile su gancio magnetico. Funziona con n.2 pile AA da 1,5V, interessante la possibilità di poter acquistare separatamente una pila opzionale agli ioni di litio (BA 3.7V 1.0Ah A) ovviamente ricaricabile all’occorrenza. Prezzo impegnativo, dispositivo affidabile.

Esta marca nunca defrauda. Herramienta muy útil y precisa. Mide corriente hasta 200 A y tiene pantalla clara, fácil de leer. No necesita tocar los cables gracias al detector sin contacto. Perfecto para uso profesional. Es cómodo de usar y se puede colgar con imán (compatible con MH 1). Funciona con pilas AA. Ideal para trabajos eléctricos, rápido y seguro.

Appareil compact, extrêmement pointu et sécure niveau risque d'électrocution avec indice de protection IP54, Le multimètre peut mesurer jusqu’à 200 A CA avec mâchoire ouverte, Taille très compacte (69mm x 50mm x 69mm) parfait pour les endroit exigus, Il est vendu dans une petite pochette de protection et de transport.

Apresenta um defeito na deteção

Zuallererst muss ich erwähnen, dass das erste Gerät defekt war. Egal wie man den Drehschalter eingestellt hat, es änderte nichts. Ja, selbst das Ausschalten ging nicht! Das zweite Gerät funktioniert tadellos. Es ist sehr gut abzulesen, liegt gut in der Hand und mit dem zusätzlich zu erhältlichen Magnetband ( bei dem Preis, sollte es schon inkludiert sein ), hält es sehr gut an metallischen Schaltschränken. Die offene Zange finde ich persönlich besser als die geschlossene, da man an engen Stellen besser ran kommt. Die Lampe erfüllt seinen Zweck.
