Low Amp Probes

Debating 3 different amp probes.

I own a Fluke 98 and am likely going to upgrade my multimeter to a Fluke 88-V.

I am debating between the Fluke i410, Fluke 80i-110s and the AES 07-60 Generic low amp probe.

Ideally i would like a probe that can check injector coils, and fuel pump waveforms but can also check alternator output and be used for relative compresson testing.

I'm currently leaning toward the Fluke i410 however my question is; does it go low enough for most low end testing?

No, not reliably and given the "jaw" size it would be a PITA to use in confined spaces. The 80i-110s is overated, and over priced. Having a high limit of 100amps is nice, but it does not make up for the temperature induced drift and $$$. Go with the AES probe and save for a high amp probe to test current above 60 amps. For the price of the 80i, you may be able to afford both AES probes anyway.
