What is this kit you are talking about? Not trying to be a jerk, but I am an electronics tech and use a lot of multimeters. Most are Fluke. All the ones I use and have need no kit to measure current. I know that clamp on kits are available, but just for what he wants he doesn't really need something like that. I do have a Fluke clamp on meter, but mine is for AC only. I'd like to hear about the kits though.
One fluke I am looking at right now has a plug for up to 300mA and another plug for 10A. The positive lead goes into one of these and the negative into the common plug and the selector set to AC amps or DC amps.
I have a little Circuitmate (Beckman) and it will only handle 200mA. And the plug, or jack, is labeled 200ma. Check your meter for what it will handle.
