There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
One thing to note is that the light is not like a round spot light but more like a rectangular beam or band, so if you hold this thing sort of perpendicular to the crank pulley then you'll only illuminate a narrow spot on the pulley, but if you rotate the light 90 degrees so it's parallel with the pulley then you'll illuminate the whole pulley and basically nothing else in the engine bay ... I found this design to help improve the contrast making it easy to find the timing mark. Your experience may vary.
Pretty sure it's impossible to go wrong with this thing even if it cost more than it does. The only reason I wouldn't buy this timing light is if you need digital, need something that does high end CDI, or you need/want advance adjustment.
The shape is good for use but not as good for storage, a decent trade-off. The long narrow barrel let me put the light close to the timing scale/mark and it was readable even on a sunny day. I think this is an improvement on the traditional "T-handle" design. The improvement in my car's performance after adjusting the timing was noticable and more than worth it.
Overall, it seems well made, and I like not having to hold down a trigger. The sleeves on the battery clips were a little loose. I pushed them up higher on the clips and this tightened them up sufficiently.
There is an owner's manual inside the cardboard insert; be sure to remove this. I found it only after I had finished using the timing light, and I noticed several warnings about not connecting the light with the engine running (which I did, but fortunately it did not damage the light).
A storage case would have been a nice feature, but for the price I don't consider not including one a drawback.

La forme du corps, plate, permet de la faire passer là où d'autres ne pourraient pas.
Le bouton, de type "marche/arrêt" plutôt que gachette comme sur d'autres lampes, permet de la fixer et de la laisser en place pendant qu'on fait le réglage. Avec un bon aimant et des colliers on la fixe au capot et hop! le tour est joué.
Deux bémols :
- l'angle de pliage du corps est restreint, on aurait aimé plus d'amplitude.
- la puissance d'éclairage est correcte, sans plus.
