Great Value Timing Light
By Kenneth R. Mitschke
If you’re going to use this occasionally, it will serve you very well. The light seems to be well made and works great. It is plastic, so it probably won’t stand up to abuse, but it’s perfect for how I plan to use it. I wish it had come with a case but at this price I can understand why it doesn’t.

By cathammer
Works well, seems sturdy enough. The only reasons I didn’t give it a five are for a few minor points, one design, one construction. Design…I don’t see any reason this unit couldn’t have been made more compact & therefore easier to store. There’s no real need for it to be any wider than it is in the handle area, & I’m not sure why it needs to be so long, unless it’s to help get the light end closer to the timing marks on some engines (I bought to use on a Miata). Construction…The battery clamps could be a bit heavier duty & have better covers than the typical slip-on plastic sleeves that eventually slip off & go missing. Springs are nice & strong, though.
Things I did like: Bright light. On/off button that doesn’t need to be held down. Contemporary design. Swivel head is convenient. Removable cord makes untangling and preparing for storage easier. Induction clamp seems solid. Case is hopefully a tough ABS plastic that will withstand normal knocks & has no need for silly “chrome” plating.

I’m sure there are better ones out there, but for the price this is a pretty good light. It’s a little bulky trying to point at the timing marks on the front of an engine but the head swivel helps out a little bit. I just needed a basic light to adjust my timing a little bit, and this worked. If you need a light for anything beyond that I would suggest a better one.
