Equus 3551 REVIEW

Equus 3551 Works Great.
Simple to use and good construction. Nothing fancy, just a timing light that does its job.

First use was in full daylight and it was easy to read the timing marks. I am happy with the purchase.

Equus 3551 Pretty good for the price.
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.

Equus 3551 Good basic light.
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.

Equus 3551 Timing Light Works Great!!
I got this timing light like a month ago and so far I love it, it does the job and for the price you cant go wrong!!

If you are trying to learn how to do the timing yourself in your own car, this is the timing gun for you, its easy to use and like I said before the price is just right.

Equus 3551 Timing Light Great product at a great price.
I've used this timing light several times and it worked perfectly every time. It may not hold up for a professional mechanic who uses it frequently but for the home mechanic it works great.
