Performance Tool W80578 Self-Powered Timing Light, Black

Thsi is a great remote starter and replaced the one I had for the last 30 years. Clamps are strong, length of cables are appropriate. Nice having the indicator lamp on the housing. Works every bit as good as any tool truck remote starter. Recommended.

This item is a must for doing compression tests on automobiles when you have no one to assist you.

I used it and made my job so easy and do recommend

For the money you can't beat it. I wouldn't pay any more than what I paid for this item. Simply the best tachometer for the price.

I don't ask much. I expect a timing gun to flash EVERY SINGLE TIME the spark plug fires. This thing flashes a few times and then stops a few times. This obviously has something to do with the sensitivity of the pickup clamp. The gun might be good, I don't know, but if it's attached to a piece of garbage pickup clamp, I won't know. I was not able to get the job done with this. I'd probably pay $20 - $50 more for this gun if they gave a good pickup clamp, assuming the gun is good.I've noticed that the cheap red pickup clamp is the same one used on many other cheap timing guns and after reading reviews from them, I hear anything from intermittent flashes (like I had), to it worked for 5 minutes, to not flashing at all. There are just too many of them. The pickup clamp is the most important part on a timing gun and must be very sensitive and durable or you're going to have problems. My suggestion to anyone looking for a timing gun, make sure it doesn't have this stupid cheap red pickup on it or you're just going to waste your time and patience.I ordered a more expensive timing light and will make a recommendation if I find it worthy of one. A more expensive better made timing light is actually cheaper than buying one like this. The time you waste trying to get a cheap intermittent item to work is time wasted. I value my time and so should you. Get something that has a solid pickup clamp, preferably made of metal, like they all used to be made of. It's worth the higher cost.
