Some possibilities that you might want to consider are the Uni-T UT211B which is a bit more than the UT-210E. I have a UT-211B and like it, but I can't speak to it's accuracy other than I get readings in the general area I expect. Also the Owon CM2100 seems to be pretty well regarded at a similar price point to the UT-210E. There's also a bluetooth version, CM2100B, that might be worth a look.
Here's a recent thread that discusses some low-end DC capable clamp meters including the ones mentioned.
I posted some test results from my three UT-210Es in that thread. My comparison was mainly to show that most clamp meters are not really up to the task of measuring low mA currents, and something like the Fluke 771 is needed if you really must use a clamp meter.
I've not seen any issues with the red rubber degrading, and mine are 5+ years old. You can see the state of mine in the photo I posted in that thread.
I've seen others report theirs are quite accurate, but other than the review by HKJ which mentions his being 2% out I don't recall seeing any numbers. If I was to buy another, I would likely avoid eBay or AliExpress sellers and maybe try one from TME.
Since that post I have bought one of the Owon CM2100's and first impressions are good, but I have not yet done any quantitative comparisons. In theory the specs are the same for the 2A DC range at the UT-210E, with both specified as +/-(2%+8 digits), and that +/-8 digits makes a lot of difference for low current measurements. I'll probably get another CM2100 for statistical purposes as they are not too expensive, and I often use two at a time when doing various measurements. I won't bother to get the Bluetooth one, as I'd likely never use it in practice.
Not sure if anyone has attempted any hacks on the Owon like there is for the UT-210E, but I've never actually bothered to hack mine.
