Fluke is a top brand so if you have one, great. Make sure it can read DC amps using the clamp function. Some clamp ons can't utilize the clamp function on DC. Speed of sensing or refresh rate is also important.
I couldn't justify the cost of a Fluke for what little measuring I needed a clamp on for so purchased a lower cost meter. It reads AC/DC to 600A as well as some other VOM functions so suited my needs just fine. My 356 seems to be pulling around 225 amps but it has the gear reduction starter.
Here is the meter I bought thru Amazon but there is a later version available. You can search the brand name and model to get the precise specs from several other sites.
