Re: CIM Motor Strength
If you can afford a clamp-on ammeter, though... they are really, REALLY useful tools.

Make sure the one you get measures DC amps. We found a nice one for less than $100 that has two ranges for DC Amps... 4A and 80A. It is PERFECT for FRC work. We use it many times each year and it has got rid of a lot of "guess work" for us.
