Fork Meters
Open Jaw Fork Meters from Milwaukee and Klein
A fork meter measures AC current with an open, fork-shaped jaw that slides around a conductor instead of clamping shut. That makes it quick in crowded panels and on wires that are hard to isolate. This collection has the Milwaukee 2205-20 fork meter, the 2206-20 for HVAC/R work, NIST versions of both, and the Klein CL360 and CL3000 rated to 200 amps AC.
What to Look For
- Trade focus. The Milwaukee 2206-20 is built for HVAC/R service. The 2205-20 is aimed at general electrical work.
- Current range. The Klein CL360 and CL3000 both read up to 200 amps AC.
- Calibration records. Choose an NIST model if your work needs documented calibration.
- Second meter. Fork meters suit fast checks. Keep a clamp meter or multimeter for full diagnostics.

Fork Meters FAQ
Fork meter or clamp meter?
A fork meter reads current without closing a jaw, so it reaches wires in tight bundles faster. A clamp meter closes fully around the conductor and often adds more functions. Many electricians carry one of each.
What does NIST mean on the Milwaukee models?
The NST versions of the 2205-20 and 2206-20 are the same meters sold with NIST-traceable calibration. Pick them when an inspector, customer, or quality program asks for calibration paperwork.
