Cons
  • Some errors

Easy to know when to change the oil

I added this to my alternator right out of the box so I don't have to guess when to change the oil. When the hour meter showed 5 hours, I changed the oil. When 50 hours is up I will change the oil. When 100 hours have passed I will change the oil. Etc.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Easy serviceability

Ideal for motorcycle tuning.

I used this to set up the A/F mix on my 2005 Honda VTX1300. I just wrapped the cable around the connector and that's it. Instantly readable, bright enough to see in my garage and I didn't have to change any of the settings for number of cylinders etc.

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • Faulty

Suitable for break time

I found this to find out the break time for my outboard, about 20 hours. It took so long to fog up so I think it served its purpose. Later report: Lens fog cleared, then battery dead. Replaced the battery and now parts of the numbers are missing from the display. I don't think this device is waterproof

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

The cable was too short for my application. cable length.

The cable was too short for my application. The cable is 57 inches long but it takes 5 turns of cable around the connector which in my application takes at least 8 inches which leaves me 49 inches to get a show reading this. FYI, the display dimensions for this device are 1-5/16" x 5/8" x 2-9/16" cable size is 57" x 1/8".

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Minor problems

Great product fits gauges

Very good idea for a small outboard, I can now adjust the idle screw to the recommended 900rpm. And I see how much time I spend on the engine to keep it in good condition. It is easy to install and runs on batteries. I would recommend it, especially for small tiller outboards or applications where you need to make sure you are logging engine hours. I would love to install a new motor but now I can only estimate how long it was on before I installed it. The tachometer is excellent and I found my

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • weak

Great for my WR250F. A must for trails.

Works too well. Very accurate RPM readings that update fairly continuously. It's amazing that you can change the battery without resetting the information. The amazing thing is that you can set service intervals (like a 10 hour oil change on the WR250F). Very easy to install. You must remove the tank to access the WR's fork. Another handy tip is that modern dirt bikes with boot style spark plug systems actually require you to wrap them around the plastic head of the boot. NOT the cable that…

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Much

I bought this product for a Craftman lawn tractor that did not come with an hour meter. I initially looked for a factory replacement, but the $60 price tag seemed a bit high for this feature. I ordered it because of the price and the positive reviews. InstallationInstallation was very easy. As you can see from the photos, I drilled a small (9/64 inch) hole where the factory hour meter popped out. (I didn't want to drill a hole in my new tractor's dashboard.) Routing the cable wasn't a big deal…

Pros
  • Good value for money

Works best in spares

Bought this for my garden tractor. I have a Honda GX630 installed on a '78 Powermax 9020. I wanted to make sure I didn't exceed the 3600 rpm hydraulic limit. I bought this tachometer, hour meter, I'm sure it's useful, but my tractor already has it and I honestly don't care much about the clock. The display always shows the time unless you remove the battery. Not a big deal, but be aware. If you check and the clock isn't showing, it's time for a new battery. The backlight is a nice feature that…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
