Test as soon as you receive it

Bought this product as a gift for my son in August Opened yesterday and it worked for 5 minutes they failed.Too late for one Return to Revain. Lesson learned, anything you buy from Revain, try it right away or your SOLPiece will be crap

  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Works just as well as any other expensive ones I have.

Works as well as any other expensive model I've had in the past. Not that expensive, easy to see large readings, all function switches work easily and well. The flash is bright enough. Works for me!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not everything fits

but it uses a spark ignition system

seems ok. The display of the engine being tested for stability is a bit shaky, and there are loose wires inside the case that cause it to shut down when shaken. I'll probably open up the case and do some soldering to fix this problem. The 2/4 time setting is practical. I'm using a 4-stroke engine, but it uses a useless spark ignition system, so the 4-stroke setting shows twice the actual RPM, while the 2-stroke is accurate. This is normal with my engine.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • expensive

Excellent light even in daylight

Had to deal with an advanced feature before it worked properly. Mark the timing marks with some white paint and enter the factory recommendations for your engines in advance. My motor was 8 degrees BTDC. I set the gun to 8 degrees and shined a very bright light (even in daylight) on the Harmonic Balancer until the 2 marks matched. 8 degrees are built in automatically. Found out my time was about 5 degrees. Now works like a charm. Also added is an MSD stick on a graduated time band for easierโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Reliability

Inconsistent time display

This time display is everywhere. One minute it's showing a time setting and the next it's completely off. I tried several lights on the same machine and they all showed the same time reading and this one wasn't even close (about 14 degrees). Tried it again and eventually it just all came out together. Nothing appears on the display. I bought it based on the good reviews and it's not all it should be. I contacted the actual manufacturer about this and got no response. I finally called and wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
