Safely Check Current For Appliances (for da poor man)

There are times you need to check the current on appliances that plug into the wall. I would rig a power cord to clamp on to the tongue of the neutral and clip the other one to my meter, plug it in the wall socket. More trouble than its worth.

With all the ways to make life convenient, they have standby power to everything electronic now a days. So, when you turn your television on, its on already (per say). Lets not forget (pun intended) power for memory is some devices... Where your DVD player (DVR) left off on the movie you were watching

I wanted to see how much energy was consumed when the device was off, but I wanted an easier, safer and yes convenient way to check the current of an appliance, so I came up with this (insert name here)...

Somebody have an idea for a name for this?
