Yep - I have one and they can be quite useful when wanting to check current flow in say the car battery leads in order to check for quotient current flow. But, most of them are hall effect sensor based and as a result can be tricky to use. It took me some time and practice to achieve reliable readings with my £50 UNI-T clamp meter.
The best ones are also rather expensive.
