As far as I can see the Parkside does not measure DC current - only DC voltage.

This is the case with all the cheaper clamp meters - they either measure no DC at all or are stated to be AC/DC but only measure DC voltage..

The one I have comes with probes to plug into sockets at the bottom. So it can be used as a normal DVM but I prefer a standalone unit for general measurements.
