## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as it should
*by I***R on August 14, 2017*

I bought this for my Garden Tractor. I have Honda GX630 installed into an '78 Powermax 9020. I wanted to make sure I wasn't over-driving the hydro's 3600rpm limit. The tachometer is what I bought this for, the hour meter I'm sure is useful but my tractor already has one and I honestly don't care much about the hours.The display will always display the hours unless you pull the battery. Not a big deal but keep it in mind. If you look and don't see the hours displayed, it's time for a new battery.The backlight is a nice feature that is easily turned on/off.I bought two of these. I "thought" I killed my first one after the tractor was forced to be outside in the weather for a couple of weeks. It does not have a hole in the bottom to drain condensation if you let it sit in the rain or get dew on it. That's the bad news. The good news is, even after it got completely filled up with water, I removed the battery and installed a new one and it worked. Yes, I dumped the water out and let it dry for a bit first. I thought it failed, which is what I had expected, because when I put a new battery in it wouldn't come on. I installed that battery in the new unit and it wouldn't light either. The new in the packaging battery was dead. Ugh! I put a new battery in the old unit and it works fine. So, this is one tough little unit.The adhesive on the velcro is "okay". If you apply it and let it sit it will work fine. If you have to remove or move the tach more than a couple of times, you will likely need to reapply the velcro.I plan on messing around with mine to see if I can cut the wire and add a jack to make the "head" unit removable so it doesn't have to sit out in the weather. It happens.Would I recommend this for someone else? Yes! It's easy to install. I used electrical tape around my spark plug wire instead of the included tie-wrap but the tie wrap should work as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐ cord was too short for my application. Cord length ...
*by A***N on May 12, 2017*

cord was too short for my application.Cord length 57" but requires 5 wraps of cord around plug wire which eats up at least 8" in my application, which leaves me at 49" to get the display out where I can read it.FYIDisplay dimensions for this unit are 1-5/16" x 5/8" x 2-9/16"Cord dimension is 57" x 1/8".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the Money
*by J***N on January 24, 2017*

Great tachometer and easy to install. Only complaint is the lack of instructions once its installed. I also wish the display turned off completely when idle because I haven't even used it and the battery is down a quarter. Still a 4 star buy.
