Fluke T5-600 Voltage, Continuity and Current Tester
Includes:
- 600 V Voltage, continuity and current tester
- 4 mm detachable probes
- Instruction sheet
Can this measure Amps in DC? For use to check on a car.
The Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester cannot do the function you are requesting, but perhaps Fluke 88V Deluxe Automotive Multimeter could be the product you are looking for.

Will this meter read amps on a thicker insulated wire, or even an extension cord?
The Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester can read on thicker insulated wire but will not work on an extension cord, as it has multiple conductors and you have to only measure one conductor.

Will this meter pick up ghost voltages?
The Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester should not give you ghost voltages as it has a low input impedance.

Is there a test probe adapter for an alligator clip?
The Fluke AC285 SureGrip™ Alligator Clips will plug in to the Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JRGTC INC from Excellent voltmeter got right stuff This little meter shines in comparison to other meters for the $$. It's 3rd party tested with credentials, it's Fluke which means it rugged and accurate. I teach electrical safety so the T5-600 and T5-1000 are my go to so as to give my apprentices and techs the safest and best meter at a price point and size affordable and convenient

Rated 5 out of 5 by TWeed from Money well spent This is one of those tools that not only can I not live with out, but truly feel like I got my monies worth.
Upon my retirement as a vocational instructor I had to buy my own meter after years of having one supplied to me. After years of purchasing this meter for my students and seeing the abuse that a high school student can put them thru there was no question in my mind what I was going to buy.
I still have my original "Wiggy" that I got as an apprentice 40 years ago. I have every expectation that my Fluke T5-600 will be around just as long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rangerteddy from A nearly perfect electrical test The t5 600 works as intended, it can check ac/dc voltages, ac amps and ohms/continuity. Honestly this tester is nearly perfect and I can't take off points for options the product does not offer to begin with but I do think that adding a backlight to the t5 line would add a lot of value to an already great tester. I was debating going with a t6 just for the backlight on the screen alone but the extra cost and field sense feature did not seem worth the $.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Big Lew from Nice for reading Amps T5-600 is Great. Question will it work AC Line Splitter example Tekpower M920 AC Line Splitter, does Fluke have a unit that will work with the T5-600
