Thomas 5017 Traceable Flashing LED Dual Channel Timer with Big-Digit Display, 3-inch Width x 3.5-inch Height x 5/8-inch Thickness Review

I really liked this timer, especially for study. Flashing colors were good for me and for my students to pay attention to. And I could use an audible alarm when doing group work so everyone can hear. Once you finish the countdown, there is an amazing "up" countdown. So if I checked the time carefully for myself, I could see how much "up" time we've gone. The problem is that the student banged on the table and the timer ran out. . It fell about 3 feet onto the linoleum and broke, so it doesn't…

I bought this timer to help me with my job. I work in a machine shop and I need to use a timer to make sure some tasks get done by a certain time. I liked the fact that this timer acted as a nice loud signal. The numbers are big enough and high contrast enough to be easy to see and very easy to install. But the main reason I bought a timer is so I don't skip rebooting the hardware when needed. Unfortunately the alarm on this timer is NOT loud, I would say it's pretty quiet, it reminds me of the

I have been using this timer for grilling for about a month now. Overall easy to use, although it would have been nice to have a sticker on the back with instructions on how to set up storage.

I've tried quite a few timers over the years and have found that most are lacking in one aspect or another. However, the Thomas 5017 timer is just about perfect for a basic home timer. The numbers are big and easy to read, the buttons are easy to press, and the size is just right. The only thing I don't like is that the functionality of all the buttons isn't entirely obvious, so you have to think about how they're going to work. Perhaps the labels could be more intuitive, and of course you can…

Let me start by saying that I'm a magician and this timer is designed to help me keep track of my performances DURING my performances. And for that it seems to be the most perfect. While the magnet isn't very strong, I won't be using this feature. I will be using: Timer 1 will be set to the duration of my show minus 5 minutes. Timer 2 is set to the duration of my broadcast. Now the LEDs of both timers are flashing green every 4 seconds during my show. At 1 minute to 0 on timer 1 flashes green…
