A useful addition for the machine shop

Well designed and easy to use tool. I use it (in contact mode) to check the RPM of a small milling machine that doesn't have a tachometer. The measured values are reproduced.

Pros
  • Includes reflective tape, large and small cone adapters, funnel adapter, wheel adapter, batteries and hard carrying case
Cons
  • I will write later

Poor quality and broken out of the box.

The wheel did not turn smoothly and got stuck. The poor build quality and readings are nowhere near realistic. We returned it and bought a Fluke 931 which cost almost 4x the price and I think was worth every penny!

Pros
  • Country of manufacture: China
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Very annoying. You get what you pay for. The Reeds Instruments R7100 may look almost like its cheap copy, but there are differences. Everything fits well, with a solid, heavy feel.
