They also get bad reviews Phil. Loose connections on the plug and leads with the same intermittent result. Also no way to reach plugs 2&3 without some home-made extension lead. The new ones all appear to use the same rectangular pickup component. It's that causing the issues, some are made well others not. That's why I'm trying the Gunson as there are very few complaints. That was until Kev chipped in with the bad news.

It appears that all the inductive ones are a bit hit and miss whatever the make. Whenever I think I have found a reliable one, someone always reports back that their one was crap. What about the expensive ones like Snap On, are they any good. Don't mind paying out as long as I never have to buy another. Probably all Chinese s**t like everything else you buy these days. A whole nation who's entire output is just millions of tons of Landfill a year. Sorry, it's turning into a rant again.

Roy - I picked up a MAC strobe light a couple of years ago on eBay second hand. It's a superb piece of kit - wasn't cheap but will last me until I’m old and wrinkly I suspect...

S/H Snap-on timing light on ebay Roy. It's up for £10, reportedly in good working order. It might be worth a punt. Item number 112854110548.

Thanks for that eBay link, will give it a go. Hopefully I won't be bidding against anyone on here now they have all seen the link. :D
philward:
Did you win the Snap On Strobe Roy? (I didn't bid because I knew you were interested) - bought an old school Gibson (none induction clamp)
