I bought this bargain basement clamp-on current probe on eBay.  It  doesn't even seem to have a manufacturer (shamed out of existence?), but  the model number is CP06.  It's $70 shipped, and is probably worth it,  especially if you plan to measure DC and 50/60Hz AC waveforms.  It will  not do high-frequency measurements.  The DC accuracy seems good enough  for many different applications where cutting into the test wire is not  preferable.
Note:  Hold down the "zero" button for a couple seconds, then release.
Ben, this hold down Zero button stuff... sounds like morse code XD.
