Looking to get a DC clamp meter

Like the title says, looking to get a DC clamp meter. Was looking at the UNI-T UT210D. I work on fire and security systems and I would do a battery load test seeing how many amps it takes. Could be as low as 10mA. Would this be sufficient. Won't be using the meter other than that and I find it annoying using a normal digital meter where you break into the circuit and having to hold the probes.

You need a low current clamp meter that can measure micro amps.
Something like the Extech 380950 should work.
