Look for a homebrewed shunt that you can build yourself, then you can use
your 10 amp multimeter to measure the higher loads.

A few results of a quick search:

Another approach uses a wire of known resistance, measures voltage drop
across it, and dividing by a factor to get amps.

Here is another thread that has some good answers for exactly what you are
asking:

Anyway, as you can see, there is plenty more out there than this list, if
you need to do more looking than what is here.  I think you can take it from
here, now! <g>

Peter --

   Check out the Medusa MR-PA-60100T Power Analyzer II at
www.MedusaProducts.com  It measures Volts, Amps up to 100, Watts, and other
info with a simple connection. All you have to do is add your standard
connectors, such as Dean's. One connection measures all parameters
automatically.

the other?Are there any cheaper alternatives that are fully functionalthat
do not have to be build?When I looked at reasonably priced multimeter
options lastnight I could not find any that were not limited to 10
amps,beside the above two.
