The meter I bought off eBay (shipped from China) is a panel mount (put it
into a small project box attached to the trim panel under the sink) has the
option, if you order a shunt with it, to be an amp meter.  Small button on
the front of the meter, press to read current.  And it reads to two decimal
places.  I didn't order the shunt and have never used the amp meter
feature.  But they are avaialble out there.  Just be a little careful when
ordering the great variety of digital volt/amp meters off eBay, many of them
require a separate power supply board.  Others, like the one I have, have
their own power supply built in.
